Evolution, Creation & Science
Students often have questions about science and faith, and particularly creation and evolution. Evolution, Creation and Science has been written to equip teachers to answer these questions. In plain English, with many helpful diagrams, it explains why evolutionists hold the views they do and how advocates of Creation and Intelligent Design respond to their arguments. Many scientists do not accept the broad claims of Darwinists and reject the assertion that the Darwinian process could produce the living world. Moreover, creationists argue that the facts of science fit far better within a creation worldview. Evolution, Creation and Science, covers all these issues and explains the debate in the context of Christian and atheistic worldviews and the history of science.
An inspiring, well-documented exposition of the world-wide controversy between creation and evolution. ... All responsible scholars in biological science should familiarise themselves with this easily comprehensible essay. Highly recommended!

The Christian Roots of Science
Before science could begin, it was necessary for people to believe certain things about the natural world, particularly that it is orderly and governed by natural laws. Leading historians of science have argued that this worldview arose out of Christian theology.
Einstein's Heroes
An excellent, well referenced and informative summary of the scientific achievements of three of the world’s greatest scientists: Newton, Faraday and Maxwell. These men were all highly esteemed by Albert Einstein and were, in fact, his ‘heroes’. What this booklet highlights is the extent to which these three great scientists were all devout believers in the God of the Bible and how their understanding of Creation of the Universe described in the book of Genesis both motivated and informed their scientific discoveries.

Galileo, Science and the Church
Galileo Galilei was one of the greatest scientists of the seventeenth century. Despite this, he spent the final years of his life under house arrest, the Roman Catholic Church having found him guilty of conduct that had rendered him “suspected of heresy”. Some claim that this is an example of an age-old conflict between science and faith. A more careful examination of the facts, however, leads to a very different conclusion.
It is my privilege to endorse Galileo, Science and the Church. What I enjoyed about the scholarly approach displayed in this booklet is an integrative approach to working with science and faith. The work clearly indicates that science and faith are not two opposing forces. ...

The Way of the Overcomer
Living the Sermon on the Mount

Life can bring many griefs and trials. But according to Jesus, we can be overcomers in them all. He said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made it possible for us to become victors despite everything that is thrown at us; and He made known the way of victory in His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Embracing its simple precepts has enabled the most oppressed, hurting and battered people to become among the strongest and most effective of God’s warriors. Victims have become victors; the broken-hearted have become lion-hearted; the most foolish have become the most wise; and the most fearful have become the most brave. Through it, whole communities have been transformed, with even the most barbaric and violent becoming among the most civilised and caring. Nothing in all the world surpasses its ability to renew, rebuild, secure and empower.

In this short book the author takes this life-transforming teaching of Jesus and explains how we apply it in everyday life. Read it. Put it into practice. Be among those who are “more than conquerors through Christ” (Romans 8:37).
