| Description: |
In response to the Assembly of the Australian Plenary Council 2020–2022, the Australasian Catholic Coalition for Church Reform (ACCCR), a voice for lay Catholics with a network of 19 member organisations across Australia and New Zealand, convened a series of convocations to promote the Plenary and support its task of renewing the Church in Australia. The online convocations featured keynote speakers - such as Joan Chittister, Robert Fitzgerald, Debra Zanella, and John Warhurst – along with a response to the Plenary agenda and concrete proposals for the Plenary Council.
These convocations, in turn, sparked the genesis for this reading guide – A Church for All. The guide also features discussion questions that will provoke further reflection and is designed to be used either alone or with others.
This is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of the Catholic Church. |

| Description: |
The life and ministry of the apostle Paul was a sprawling adventure covering thousands of miles on Roman roads and treacherous seas as he boldly proclaimed the gospel of Jesus to anyone who would listen, be they commoners or kings. His impact on the church and indeed on Western civilization is immeasurable.
From his birth in Tarsus to his rabbinic training in Jerusalem to his final imprisonment in Rome, An Illustrated Guide to the Apostle Paul brings his remarkable story to life. Drawing from the book of Acts, Paul's many letters, and historical and archaeological sources, this fully illustrated resource explores the social, cultural, political, and religious background of the first-century Roman world in which Paul lived and ministered. It sheds light on the places he visited and the people he met along the way. Most importantly, it helps us understand how and why Paul was used by God in such extraordinary ways.
Pastors, students, and anyone engaged in Bible study will find this an indispensable and inspiring resource. |

| Description: |
Some practicing Christians find their prayer life and practice has dried up. Traditional forms of prayer have become routine and empty. In a very real sense, there is a void in their spiritual lives. They want a deeper union with God yet experience an unsettling estrangement with their current pathway in prayer.
In ‘Contemplative Prayer at Work in Our Lives’, Geoff Colvin unravels the challenging practice of contemplative prayer, a unique form of meditation involving very few words in silence and stillness and centring on the fundamental belief that God dwells not only in the world at large but also at the centre of our being. |

This is a lyrical, meditative picture book about listening and mindfulness.
BEEP!
WOOF!
VROOM!
Isn’t the world a noisy place?
But what if you
stop, close your eyes,
and LISTEN?
Can you hear each sound?
Can you listen past the noise
and hear the quiet, too?
Beautifully illustrated and poignant, this lovely picture book follows a girl through her school day as she listens to sounds across the city and throughout her day: the caws of crows, shouts across the playground, and finally, the quiet beating of her heart and whispered goodnights. |

| Description: |
This major contribution to Pauline scholarship by a widely-respected New Testament scholar is the culmination of over forty years of teaching on Paul.
Brendan Byrne demonstrates that topics often discussed in Pauline studies and Christian theology go astray when the significance of the last judgment falls from view. Offering a fresh Catholic perspective that engages with centuries of Protestant interpretation, this book recaptures the significance of the motif of the last judgment for the interpretation of Paul. |
