Jews, Arabs and Bible Prophecy – 2018 Update
Whittaker, Harry | Published in 2018 | Paperback (120 pages), Kindle
This book, first published in the 1970s, answers very different questions coming from very different kinds of people. The unbeliever and the believer each want to know something different. How are these answers reached? By a careful examination of scores of places where the Bible claims to be revealing events in the “time of the end”. If you are an unbeliever, the first few chapters here will bring you face to face with up-to-date facts which take some explaining away. If you already believe in Christ, these early chapters will make a lively prelude to bigger excitements and faith-strengthening discoveries.

Most importantly, may these verses fill your mind and help you to become more and more like the one who was, and is, the word made flesh.

The King Who Fell – An Exposition of Solomon’s Song of Songs
Pople, John | Published in 2017 | Paperback (226 pages)
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth” opens the lyrics of the Bible’s most complex Old Testament mystery: Solomon’s enigmatic Song of Songs. In truth, the Song is exactly as it appears: an intensely passionate expression of romantic love, both ascetic and sexual, between two lovers; with the poetry structured as a chiasmus, i.e. in two anti-symmetric halves. The spiritual lessons imprinted in the Song are simple, profound and highly relevant to the 21st century disciple; and the manner in which they can be seen to emerge from the symbology, fascinating.

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.

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.
