Can it be practised within a Christian worldview? 
Can it be Christ-Centred? 
Yes.\nIn the award-winning 'Christ-Centred Mindfulness', leading academic and experienced mental health worker Dr Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and draws on the rich Christian tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life.

In Storytellers: Bringing Muslims Home, Bernie Power shows how the art of storytelling can be used to answer the questions that Muslims ask about the Christian faith. He does so by telling us a story within a story, which points to the greatest story ever told: the story of God's Son, Jesus Christ.\nIn Bernie's novel, we are introduced to a young Christian couple: Tom, a teacher, and his wife Hanna, a doctor, who travel to the Middle East to live and work with the Yemeni people. Together they face challenges, make friends and answer questions about their faith using the method most favoured by both Arabic cultures and Jesus himself - stories.\nStorytellers: Bringing Muslims Home is packed with references from both the Bible and the Qur'an. It is an invaluable resource for Christians engaging with the followers of Islam, Muslims who are curious and wish to understand more about Christianity, and to anyone with an interest in Christian-Muslim dialogue.

We all can think of organisations that were established by Christians that are no longer recognisably Christian. In 'Keeping Faith', the authors outline the key components of organisational faithfulness – that is, what is needed for Christian organisations to stay true to the way of Jesus. They argue that the old reliance on statements of faith, or a set of Christian values, is insufficient. What is needed is a robust organisational theology that inhabits the enterprise’s structures, management, business policies, practices and relationships and is tailored to the purpose of the organisation.\nIn this important book, you will find 
a checklist to determine if your organisation is losing its faithfulness 
an outline of some key components of organisational theology 
examples, both positive and negative, of theological application in organisations 
discussion questions for organisational reflection.\nWith combined global experience in practical theology, running businesses and charities, and integrating faith and work, Judd, Swinton and Martin have created an important and essential book for every Christian organisation.

Join the Dean of Melbourne, Dr. Andreas Loewe, and academic and poet Dr. Katherine Firth for six weekly reflections as we journey through what it means to be faithful followers of Jesus today in Journeying with Bonhoeffer: Six Steps on the Path of Discipleship. Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a theologian whose life and work resonate profoundly in our times. He transcended barriers of race, denomination, and language, dedicating his life to the pursuit of truth and justice. His courageous efforts included leading an underground seminary and participating in the resistance against the Nazi regime, actions that ultimately led to his imprisonment, internment in concentration camps, and execution. Bonhoeffer's inspiring writings continue to challenge and inspire believers to consider the true essence of discipleship and the practical outworking of their faith. In 2020, the world commemorated the 75th anniversary of Bonhoeffer's martyrdom, a poignant reminder of his enduring legacy. The reflections in Journeying with Bonhoeffer, initially delivered as Dean Andreas' Lent Addresses in 2019, delve into the themes of discipleship through the lens of Bonhoeffer's profound theological insights. These reflections are grounded in the Gospel of Luke and Bonhoeffer's seminal work, The Cost of Discipleship, which calls Christians to a radical and authentic following of Christ. Dr. Katherine Firth contributes significantly to this journey with her compelling new biography of Bonhoeffer, first presented at St James' King Street in Sydney. Her work offers fresh perspectives on Bonhoeffer's life, capturing the depth of his spiritual journey, his political convictions, and his poetic expressions. Firth's translations of Bonhoeffer's poems and prayers reveal the rich interplay of spirituality, politics, and literary craft in his writings, providing readers with a deeper understanding of his thoughts and experiences. Journeying with Bonhoeffer invites participants to explore six steps on the path of discipleship, each reflection encouraging a deeper engagement with Bonhoeffer's teachings and the Gospel. The series is designed to foster contemplation, discussion, and practical application, making it a valuable resource for individuals and groups seeking to deepen their faith and commitment to following Jesus in today's complex world. Through this journey, Loewe and Firth offer a thoughtful and enriching exploration of what it means to live as faithful disciples of Christ. By engaging with Bonhoeffer's life and writings, participants are encouraged to confront the challenges of their own faith journeys, inspired by Bonhoeffer's example of courage, integrity, and unwavering devotion to God's call. Journeying with Bonhoeffer is more than a series of reflections; it is an invitation to transform one's understanding of discipleship and to live out that calling with renewed purpose and conviction.
