An excellent Bible study booklet ideal for group or individual use.

How do we start to share our faith? Are we really sure that we know what our message is? What about those objections that people always come up with? And it's not just what we say. Does our whole way of life fit in with what we believe?These are some of the questions which Paul Little discusses in his book in a fresh, lively way. No wonder that this practical, challenging and enjoyable book has now been printed well over a million times.

From gifted and unorthodox doctor, to wife-beating bully, to Star Wars bounty hunter, one thing Temuera Morrison can''t be accused of is being typecast. With humble beginnings in the rural backblocks of Rotorua, Temuera''s early life gave him a strong sense of family, community and culture. Following his father''s tragic death when Temuera was just 14 years old, he developed his love of – and talent for – performing through kapa haka. It was the attention Temuera received as the violent and abusive Jake Heke in Once Were Warriors that brought him international acclaim and ultimately propelled him to Hollywood. In his memoir, Temuera talks about the roles he has played, the famous people he has worked alongside (including Pamela Anderson, Marlon Brando, Harrison Ford, Michael Jackson and George Lucas), the mistakes he''s made in his life and the lessons he''s learned along the way. This is a truly entertaining account of an event-packed life.

In January 1939, just months after hanging up his boots and a few weeks into his new career as a talent scout, William Ralph 'Dixie' Dean, the former Everton and England legend, received a surprise request for assistance from the far west of Ireland. Could he find a goalscorer for Sligo Rovers - the beating heart of a small, provincial town - to drive their dreams of a lucrative cup run and help protect the club's very existence? Dean set about finding the right man, but unable to locate candidates willing to make the move across the Irish Sea, he had an idea. What if he were to answer Sligo's call? And so began the unlikely story of how one of the greatest centre-forwards ever to grace the game added an unexpected and ultimately uplifting chapter to his storied football career. In the Shadow of Benbulben is a romantic tale of divine intervention, uncanny timing and drama on and off the pitch. It's the tale of 'Dixie' Dean's four months with the Bit O'Red that was to leave an indelible mark on the player, the club and the town.
