GulfGulf (book)
Print: $25.96 Download: $15.02 This is a long novel, a tapestry of life in rural Australia with all the characters, the localities, the climate and the social life so finely pictured that not one single aspect of the portrayal jars. Reminiscent of John Steinbeck's wonderful pen pictures of rural America and the unique characters that dwelt therein.
The story line is good and well maintained. The language is rough but not aggressively Australian and laced with typical wit. The racial prejudice is infiltrated throughout the story so imperceptibly that it becomes almost acceptable as a normal attitude, as does the behavior of the senior policeman in the small station.
It is only as the story draws to its rather horrifying conclusion that the reader begins to realize its skillful condemnation of the average Australian's apathy towards bad social attitudes and political intrigue.
This is not to suggest the tale degenerates into a lecture on morality. It is an excellent read throughout.

Print: $16.95 Download: $5.00 Even though Christians live under Grace rather than under the Law, we all belong to the Kingdom of God. Kingdoms have a King and the Kings subjects should obey the King. It is good to obey the King in response to the great love that He has for us. The Lord Jesus Christ obeyed God throughout His life and He asks us to follow his example. "A Man Under Authority" encourages every Christian to live a life of obedience and enjoy the fruit of peace and joy in their lives.

Print: $20.50 Download: $5.00 The Bible introduces some important concepts into our language. One of the most important is that of the redemption. When God gave Israel the Law he told them that relatives were required to look after each other. When a person got into trouble their family was required to help them recover from their problems. Sometimes the only person who could help was God and he was their Redeemer.
In the New Testament we find that Christ has come to be the Redeemer. He is the perfect example of the perfect Redeemer.
Better than all the Rest celebrates the fact that Christ is the prefect Redeemer, who is better than any other redeemer in human history.
Doug McNaught has been a Bible teacher for over thirty years. He was the editor of a Christian magazine for five years and was also the president of a Bible School. He continues his itinerant preaching ministry and spends his time writing these days.

Download: $6.25 Hardcover Print: $43.95 Should Christians concede ground as far as the Bible is concerned? Do the "enlightened" experts have a mortgage on the truth or can Christians simply believe the Bible in confidence. Reclaiming the Bible from the Enlightened gives each Christian confidence to believe and obey the Bible knowing that they are remaining true to their own God and Saviour. We don't have to give ground to unbelievers or feel that our minds are inferior.

Print: $21.01 Download: $5.00 The Old Testament is full of Grace. If we look at the first twelve chapters of Genesis we can see this Grace flooding the entire narrative. Modern criticism of the Bible was developed without reference to modern archaeology or an understanding of Akkadian cuneiform script. We can look at the early chapters of the Bible with reference to these issues and come up with an entirely different viewpoint.
