Actually True!

Farrar, William | Published in 2024 | Paperback (398 pages), Kindle

The gospels claim to be eyewitness accounts of real people and events. Yet many today think of them as made-up stories about a man called Jesus.

If the gospels are tales written long after the supposed events, Jesus and his teachings may be mere fables. But if they are accounts solidly rooted in the historical reality of the time, they should be taken seriously—because the likelihood is that they are, as claimed, God’s message to humanity.

This book addresses the claims of skeptics and offers evidence for those who seek an informed faith. It examines details and allusions in the gospel records through the eyes of secular historians, geographers, philosophers, politicians, poets and lawyers, from antiquity up to the twenty-first century.


The History of the San Diego Ecclesia

Hensley, Gordon | Published in 2024 | Paperback (84 pages), Kindle

This is the story of a Christadelphian Ecclesia in California that over the last 150 years went through several thrilling beginnings and disappointing endings. Regardless of how smooth or rocky the life (or death) of an ecclesia may be, its history is really the story of the people that it’s made up of, and how God works through them.

The first attempt to establish an ecclesia in San Diego involved a group of hearty settlers from Kansas. While this beginning eventually ended in failure, a final successful attempt was made 100 years later by two determined young couples. Their determination, and their reliance on God, has resulted in an ecclesia that has been thriving for 50 years. This shows us that our timetable is very different from God’s. What we believe is a failure, may over time and in God’s hands, turn out instead to be a success.


John Thomas – His Friends & His Faith (Second Edition)

Hemingray, Peter   |   Published in 2024   |   Paperback (336 pages), Kindle

In the twenty years that have passed since the first edition, there has been uncovered much additional information as myself and others have continued to investigate John Thomas and his times. Also, information on the internet has greatly increased. This expanded edition therefore includes:

  • An extended introduction to additional people who had major religious influences on John Thomas, and the impact of technology on his travels.
  • Additional information on the family of John Thomas, especially a more developed relationship with his brother, Robert Innocence, who housed the rest of the Thomas family for years.
  • Information on the early churches associated with John Thomas
  • An introduction to his final baptizer, John Tomline Walsh, and the first Christadelphian Church building.
  • Recently uncovered evidence on the early activities of Dr. Thomas as a doctor in Cincinnati, and additional information on Albert Anderson, the first and longest convert.
  • An expanded section of military service and the Civil War in the South.

You Are Those Who Stood by Me

Paul Zilmer / Published in 2024 / Paperback, 212 pages

This book is historical fiction and the purpose is to help us see what that loyalty and friendship looks like, how it develops. We’re intended to see the men and women we meet in the Bible as examples, good and bad. We find the loyalty and friendship of those around Jesus are imperfect, full of ups and downs. What we’ll try to do is look through the eyes of some of those who proved to be loyal, who stood by Jesus. There are eleven Jesus speaks to in the upper room that night, but there are more friends than these, and we’ll spend time with some of them too.

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

Various Authors / Published in 2023 / Paperback, Kindle

In 2023, the Tidings magazine ran a year-long series of articles attempting to take a fresh Scriptural look at prayer. Many helpful articles focused on prayer effectiveness and setting prayer as a priority. However, this series attempted to take a more diagnostic look at prayer. How can we better understand the gracious opportunity for prayer in the life of a believer? How can we realize the opportunity for intimacy with our God? What can we do to make prayer a more powerful part of our personal and ecclesial lives?

Our sincere thanks to the brethren agreed to write these articles. We provide them all here in one place for your encouragement.
