  • I wasn’t sure if this is the correct place to share this, so apologies in advance..

    Listen to podcast about a new book called ‘The Hidden Tree’ here is a link to the interview with the author. You can also leave a review.

    Book Desription
    “Using the metaphor of a tree we explore the historical, out-of-sight root system and its evolutionary origin while looking forward to its purpose and goal through the use of God technology, dark intel and the tools of self-determination (humanism). Are we the result of an evolutionary process, or have we been duped into believing the technological revolution and other global transitions have successfully moved us towards a better future?”

    This book is available from Amazon. It was a privilege to serve alongside Don's son on a team in 1980/81. He was such a blessing to the team. After Walmart, Don founded The Soderquist Centre for Leadership and Ethics in the States.

    Really encourage you to explore this book. It was so encouraging to read about Jonathan's vision in writing it and he also shared in the opening of the CRE exhibition in the UK in October 2018.

    by Stuart Robinson

    Paperback

    Reading this book was very encouraging and inspiring. It is a focus on the value of prayer in the development of churches internationally. The illustrations and interwoven with thoughtful teaching on the principles both of church growth and prayer.... Believe you too will be blessed through reading it.

  • SCATTER by Andrew Scott

    Product Details

    Have just this past week discovered this book by a good friend of mine.  It was mentioned in a website that I found on a prayer update. Interesting trail... Amazon delivered at high-speed in a couple of days... Now starting to read it but sense it has much of value to share.

    The subject of serving where you are with your entrusted gifts and professional experience is one that I believe is worth promoting. Maybe I will draft a blog post about the concept sometime.... watch this page as they say.... Andrew is the country coordinator of an international group.   David

Cross-cultural Marriages

Anyone recommend any books on cross-cultural romantic friendships/marriages? This isn't just for those who meet their spouses on the mission field but perhaps also for those who meet someone from another culture in their home area. Books that explore the issues they might face would be good to know about. Then we can add these to OSCAR's book list.

Which ones would you keep?

I am trying (with minimal success) to 'thin out' my library ahead of a probable move.  It has started me wondering what are my top 20...top 10...top 5...?So...if you were only allowed to keep FIVE books, which five would you keep?  (Desert-Island-Discs style, you have a Bible in addition to the five!)
