Studies in the Lord’s Supper
Moynihan, Shawn | Published in 2023 | Paperback, Kindle
Two thousand years ago, on a spring evening in an upper room in Jerusalem, thirteen people met together. This book attempts to recapture Jesus’ intention for his Supper. Jesus established the rite to connect us to our Father, to connect us to him, and to connect us to each other. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, we want to know Jesus in the Breaking of Bread (Luke 24:30-31).
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith – Booklet
Richard Morgan / Published in 2023 / Paperback, 26 pages
Justification by faith is an important doctrine because of the kind of person it develops. A person of humility, knowing their righteousness is imputed by faith and not by their ability to follow the law. A person of integrity, who has been open and vulnerable towards God, acknowledging their sin and appealing to his mercy and forgiveness. But not only that, justification by faith has also been designed by God to produce in its adherents a character of true righteousness.
Job’s Quest
Archard, Ethel | Published in 2022 | Paperback (166 pages)

Job’s Quest explores the context, historical background, literary form, imagery and universal message of this fascinating biblical masterpiece.

Benjamin and Grace
Ojike, Peter | Published in 2022 | Paperback, Kindle
A powerful work that demonstrates the gracious hand of God in the life of Benjamin. Beginning by examining the relationship between Benjamin and his older brother, Judah and then developing the story of the failure of the house of Saul, and the mercy to be shown to David’s son. We then go to the First Century, where Benjamin’s Saul of Tarsus ravens as a wolf, but is transformed by the gospel of grace. Finally the book demonstrates how this will all culminate in the Kingdom of God, when Christ will sit on the throne of grace in Zion. Benjamin and his descendants teach us about grace in ways we may not learn from any other character in the Bible, apart from Christ.
Within the Camps
Hemingray, Peter | Published in 2021 | Paperback (253 pages), Kindle
How many know about Ernest Wells, who died in Leavenworth Prison for his faith. Or of those who suffered torture, imprisonment, and shipment overseas so that succeeding generations might be able to avoid such treatment. Christadelphians in North America suffered greatly in WW1 to establish the principle that they could not, in good conscience, serve in the Armed Forces in any capacity, so they were, at best, forced into Army camps after conscription, or sentenced to prison. In WW2, they were sent to camps to perform manual labor under sometimes harsh conditions in remote locations – and in the case of the USA, forced to pay for the privilege. It is to remind us of their sacrifice for their faith that this book was written, and it is to be hoped that it will help ensure their sacrifice in the camps was not in vain.
