Over 200 million people currently live abroad; more than 50 million are temporary residents, intending to return to their country of origin. Misunderstood explores the impact international life can have on the children of such families - while they live overseas, when they return, and as they mature into adults. Similarities in their shared experiences (regardless of the different countries in which they have lived) create a safe space of comfort and understanding. Tanya Crossman introduces this space - the Third Culture - through the personal stories of hundreds of individuals. Whether you grew up overseas, are raising children overseas, or know a family living abroad, Misunderstood will equip you with insights into the international experience, along with practical suggestions for how to offer meaningful care and support.

An important book for our generation!
In the wake of a generation raised on Dobson’s teaching, Meredith Miller provides a positive alternative for nurturing faith in our children, and healing some of our own hurts as adults in the process. I think this book is vitally important for parents and ALL adults who work with children in a church or similar teaching context. It is practical and hopeful, grounded in research and sound theology. I bought an extra 8 copies so I could run a book club discussion group.
Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn't Have to Heal From

Not just a collection of essays...
...it is a summons, calling us to reckon with the industrial habits that are debasing our land, our communities, and ultimately ourselves. I love this book because it feels both prophetic and pastoral. It unsettles, but it also steadies. It names the crisis honestly, yet refuses despair. It reminds us that the alternative to a world-ending fire is not grand heroics but daily faithfulness—to soil, to neighbour, to limits, and to love. For anyone concerned about creation care, community, or the moral shape of modern life.

Brilliant booklet. I loved that it is simple, to the point and understandable while being enjoyable with memorable amusing anecdotes. I bought several books to give to friends this Christmas

Pastors, BUY this book!
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read as a pastor. It applies the gospel deeply and beautifully to the heart. An enjoyable yet pentrating read. Rewards with every re-read.
Searching for Grace

A very useful tool to live a more centred life...
...I've used lots of different journals and planners throughout my life, and am currently using this one along with three others as they all serve different purposes.
The daily, weekly and monthly rhythms serve to keep me grounded and anchored, ensuring my focus for that period of time is on Christ and His Kingdom.
I especially appreciate the daily structure, which takes you from Scripture (I use YouVersion's verse of the day), to pray, to thankfulness, to focus for the day.
A bargain at this price - well worth the investment!
