New Book Releases
Justice grew up with a father who couldn’t settle down. He left his family to pursue travel and relationships around the world. Each partner seems to get younger. Since she was four years old, it’s just been Justice, Mum and brother, Micah.
Justice sees the injustice in the world and gets frustrated that she can’t do anything significant about it. She has a sponsor child in Rwanda, but she wants to do so much more.
World peace, an end to end poverty and justice for all become her goals, especially after she meets Seth, the charismatic boy with dreadlocks and sea-green eyes at a peace rally.
Just when she is figuring things out and becoming involved in the peace movement, her father returns. He brings Emily with him, a young woman who is now supposed to become a part of their family.
Dad assumes they will accept Emily, but has no concept of the emotions this will stir up.
Sometimes life isn’t fair, but we have to find a way to do the right thing.

The Suburban Captivity of the Church by Tim Foster (Acorn Press, 22 September, 2014)
For far too long, Australian evangelicals have proclaimed a gospel loaded with the cultural
baggage of suburbia: personal security, individual salvation and an other-worldly focus. Is this
message really a set of timeless truths with universal application? Or have we injected Jesus’
message with our own values?
The Suburban Captivity of the Church calls us to venture beyond the picket fence and engage
with the cultural narratives around us, to see how God’s big story meets them with both
challenge and hope. Whether we are reaching a new culture, or trying to bring the gospel to our
own in a more biblically faithful way, this book will equip us for the task.
Congratulations to our finalists and to those celebrating a new release. :-)
