Sacred Agents #108: Naming That Nothingness - Just what is this lack-of-faith so many Australians believe in?
Crossover recommends: Channeling state-of-the-art research, personal stories, and careful biblical study, Confronting Christianity explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, Rebecca McLaughlin argues, and the reality of suffering, the complexity of sexuality, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world's best hope.
A resource for pastors, youth leaders and evangelists to keep on hand. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book walks through with people what it means and looks like to entrust their whole lives to Christ, and how the act of baptism encapsulates and enacts it.
Book by Andrew Turner: What is real success for a church? What are we aiming for?
If it’s all about size and health, then why did Jesus curse that big, healthy-looking fig tree? Could it be that we are aiming to shape churches that will impress everyone but him? What does a truly fruitful church look like?
Fruitful Church exposes how, ironically, the typical aims of growth and health actually choke real life from churches. It explores an alternative vision that refreshes every aspect of local church life and compels it to awaken from static religious institution towards the dynamic missional movement that God first planted.
Sacred Agents #103: Are our gatherings as inviting and accessible as Jesus is?
Sacred Agents #104: That 'the gates of Hades will not overcome' the church is even better news than we perhaps thought.

Crossover recommends: Backed by state-of-the-art research, personal stories, Harry Potter illustrations (warning: spoilers!), and careful biblical study, this book doesn't dodge tough questions.

Sacred Agents #100: The huge benefits of doing mission together. "If we want people to see Christ, we should show them the body of Christ. Of all the ways that we manage to stuff up the mission God has given us, surely taking it on as an individual rather than team event is the most hapless..."
