Carment Urquhart and His Vision

Carment Urquhart and His Vision, The Perth Bible Institute.

Irene M. Spice

$15.00 + postage ($5.00 within Australia)

In late October of 1938 the Revd Carment Urquhart, then living in Perth, Western Australia, sat down to write an article for the end-of-year student magazine of the Bible Institute which he had founded there ten years earlier. This is how he concluded that article:The shame of a world not yet evangelized should rouse us to vigorous activity. It is our business to publish the Gospel of Jesus Christ among all nations: it is God’s business to see that we are able to do it.

By “our business” we mean the business of every Christian without any exception whatever. How much are we doing? How much are we concerned? May the Lord give us more and more of His concern.

Even limiting consideration to Western Australia, do we realize that .not only thousands of aborigines, but also thousands of people of our own colour here have never yet listened to the Gospel message? The regular ministry cannot supply this need. Where are the young men and young women whom God desires to be trained in our Institute for “the greatest work in the world”, the preaching of the Gospel both within and without our State.

Here we have a rare peep into the mind and soul of this brilliant, gently spoken leader, who by 1938 could have been a wealthy man, but instead was virtually penniless – an enigma to many of his contemporaries.

Christ the Reconciler

Dr Andre van Oudtshoorn

$20.00 + postage ($5.00 within Australia)

CHRIST – the reconciler invites the reader to explore the person and work of Christ in a fresh and vibrant way. The book traces God?s commitment to the world through the covenant with Israel and culminating in the appearance of Christ – the One who perfectly represents both God and humanity within the covenant. Through Christ God reconciled the world to Himself. This book shows that the person and work of Christ can never be separated.

CHRIST – the reconciler confronts the reader with such issues as:
What is the difference between Jesus the Son of God and God the Father?
How did God reconcile the world in Christ?
Is Christ truly God?

CHRIST – the reconciler is essential reading for every Christian who wishes to think seriously about the one who stands at the centre of our faith. The unique style of the book not only reveals the heart of God in Christ, but also invites the reader to respond to God through reflective prayer.

Worship, the way to know God

Dr Andre van Oudtshoorn

$20.00 + postage ($5.00 within Australia)

Worship – The Way To Know Godfocusses on the object of our worship – God Himself. For this reason,this book reaches beyond being just another standard description ofworship or merely a simple conglomeration of recipes to help us in ourworship of God. Worship – The Way To Know God commits us to thinkthrough some deeper issues:

  • Who is God?
  • Why should we worship Him?
  • How is is possible for us to know and love Him?

The unique syle of this book entices us to think carefully on the One whomwe are called to worship; through it we are confronted by more thanjust dry academic facts about God and the worship of Him, we areinvited to participate with our whole beings in the search for trueworship.

Worship is conversational, a personal response to thedivine initiative. In the same way this book leads the reader to firstreflect on the One we worship, and to then respond in prayer.

Worship – The Way To Know God takes us on a journey, a journey away from ourselves and to the very heart of God Himself.
