Part of the Family (Vol 2) – Christadelphians, The Kindertransport, and the Rescue from the Holocaust
Hensley, Jason | Published in 2017 | Paperback (484 pages), Kindle
The first volume of this series described the beliefs of the Christadelphians and told the stories of ten of the children who had left their parents and come to live with Christadelphians via the Kindertransport. This second volume does the same. Just as the first, ten of these child survivors, and their families, give their testimony. Unlike the first volume, however, some of these survivors did not live with Christadelphian families – living instead in Elpis Lodge, the hostel sponsored by Christadelphians in Birmingham. Because of that, this second volume includes further details and primary sources relating to the hostel, in addition to recounting their childhood, flight from Germany, and new life in England.

Part of the Family – Christadelphians, The Kindertransport, and the Rescue from the Holocaust
Hensley, Jason | Published in 2016 | Paperback (426 pages), Kindle, Audiobook
In 1938 and 1939, the Kindertransport occurred: a movement to bring thousands of Jewish children out of Nazi-occupied territories to safety in Great Britain. These children came without their parents, almost always without a knowledge of English, and also little experience with English culture. They came to a new family, a new country, and a new life. Approximately 250 of these children were sponsored by Christadelphians, a small Christian group. They came and lived in houses with Christadelphian families or lived in hostels that the Christadelphians had started.
These are their stories.
Eleven Weeks
Tikvah, Anna | Published in 2014 | Paperback (366 pages), Kindle
Eleven Weeks and counting… We know it’s going to happen soon, we just don’t know when. What would you do if you knew that Jesus Christ was coming back tonight? or in eleven weeks? Good-looking and athletic, Jake and Zach thought the world was at their fingertips. Identical twins in their last year of high school, life was full of opportunity, excitement and temptation. Little did they know they were so close to the end… but then, neither did anyone else. With angels invisibly at work in their lives, trying to help to them choose Christ over the ‘pleasures of sin for a season’, the twins are oblivious to the race against time. Will apathy and temptation fatally eclipse the twins’ view of the coming Messiah? How will they feel when the angel comes to call them away? What will it be like to meet the Lord Jesus Christ face to face? Probing deep into the future, this novel challenges all of us to be ready and waiting for the return of our Lord. This story is recommended for age 14 and up.

Glimpses of the Master – A Study in the Parables and Signs of John
Hensley, Jason | Published in 2012 | Paperback (282 pages), Kindle
Throughout his gospel, the apostle only recorded eight major miracles performed by the Lord; each of those miracles was written so that John’s readers might be convicted of the Messiahship of Jesus of Nazareth and in so doing, that they might come to him and find life (John 20:31). This book was written to tell the story of those eight signs. It was written to make the narrative of John’s gospel come alive, and then to go deeper into the symbolic, or parabolic meaning of each one of those miracles. In every case, the symbols of the sign come together to powerfully demonstrate that the Lord Jesus came to bring true life––and that this true life can only be found in him.
Nation in Ruins – Telling the Story of Jeroboam, the Son of Nebat
Hensley, Jason | Published in 2011 | Paperback (152 pages), Kindle
He was the king who “made Israel to sin.” Constantly Scripture reminds us of this. Yet beneath this divinely ordained title, there was a living, breathing man––a man who started out going in the right direction, but then fell disastrously. What was it that caused him to stray? How is it that the rest of the nation followed his apostasy? Did he ever turn from his evil? What is his story meant to teach us?
In this biography, we will investigate the life of Jeroboam and seek answers for these questions. As we do it, may our resolve to build our lives upon the foundation of Scripture be strengthened, and may we find ourselves desiring more and more to know God’s Truth and walk in His ways.
To Speak Well of God – An Exposition of the Book of Job
Pople, John | Published in 2009 | Paperback (326 pages)
It begins with the Divine injunction: “Have you considered my servant Job?”
The Biblical drama of Job is haunting. A blameless man is tormented by ‘the Satan’: stripped of wealth, status, possessions, health and children – all with God’s permission! Who is this Satan? More chilling still, who is this God? And why, despite this cataclysmic carnage, does the drama focus on the resulting argument between Job and his 3 friends? The ending of the drama seems no clearer. When God reveals Himself, what is He saying? Finally, God restores Job. Yet does this truly repair His permitted destruction of him?
Change Us Not God – Biblical Meditations on the Death of Jesus
Launchbury, John | Published in 2009 | Paperback (200 pages), Kindle, Audiobook
What does the Bible actually say about why Jesus died? It may surprise you… This book invites you to look behind the metaphors and symbolic language, and consider the underlying perspectives that the Bible itself provides about the death of Christ. It extracts an exciting idea: that the death of Jesus was never about a transaction taking place in heaven with God, but rather that it was intended to have a very real impact on each one of us. It was intended to change us, not God! Crisp and to the point, this book is easy to read. The text considers hundreds of scriptural passages from both the Old and New Testaments, providing opportunity to reflect on the themes and lessons they offer. It avoids jargon and heavy technicalities while remaining incisive and thought-provoking. Read it on your own or use it as a discussion group text. Each bite-sized section includes starter questions for group discussion or for your own personal meditations.
John’s Creation – A Model for Understanding the Gospel of John
Pople, John | Published in 2004 | Paperback (313 pages)
The beginning of John’s Gospel reflects the presentation of the Creation sequence in the first book of the Bible. Beyond this, we hypothesize that John’s Gospel presents Jesus’ life and ministry as a spiritual parallel to the physical creation sequence in Genesis.
