New Releases
Can we trust what the Gospels say about Jesus?
Short enough to read quickly but long enough to tackle the big questions, this full-colour, 32-page booklet deals with the origins of the gospel stories about Jesus; how they got to us today; and evidence for Jesus from outside the Bible.

Atheism is definitely wrong
In this brand new leaflet from Matthias Media, Paul Grimmond makes three telling points in response to an aggressive ‘New Atheism’ that is sweeping the Western world. In so doing, he helps the reader to question the objectivity and rationality of people like Richard Dawkins, and urges them to instead take a look for themselves at the trustworthy person and words of Jesus.
When money disappears overnight
In this timely, six-page evangelistic leaflet, Gordon Cheng reflects on Luke 12:13-21 (the parable of the rich fool). He points to the reality that, although we can lose our wealth in an instant, whether through stock market failures, death or some other terrible turn of events, there is a greater crash coming; a crash that lies in wait for anyone who dies unprepared to meet God and face his assessment of us.
The Freedom of Christian Living
Following on from The Free Gift of Life (Romans 1-5) and The Free Gift of Sonship (Romans 6-11), comes this final instalment in Gordon Cheng’s insightful Interactive Bible Studies on Paul’s letter to the Romans.

A Foot in Two Worlds
This wonderful new book from John Chapman explores the joy and struggle of the normal Christian life.
As ‘Chappo’ says:
“I have been a Christian for 60 years. That’s a long time to give something a try, and it puts me in a position to strongly recommend it. Over that time, two particular aspects of Christian living have surprised me. One is that it turned out to be so good; the other is that it turned out to be so hard.”
Or listen to an interview with John Chapman in which he explains why he wrote the book:
You: an introduction
This review from Mark Barry introduces one of our latest releases:
...it seems that we've never been more confused about who we actually are. We're so quick to transcend stereotypical labels of gender, race, class, work and so on. But how then should we define ourselves? Where should we find our identity and purpose? And in all this, what does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be, well, you?
Into this existential mess comes, YOU: an introduction. In clear, readily-digestible style, Michael Jensen examines what the Creator has to say about his human creatures via his written word. Starting with life and finishing with death and the afterlife, YOU covers some of the multi-facetted aspects of what it mean to be human, such as living in a body, grasping at freedom, negotiating gender, and aspiring to dream. Each chapter introduces the topic, draws out some of the important questions, looks briefly at some alternative answers (eg. materialism, feminism, Buddhism), before proposing a succinct scriptural conclusion.
The Essential Jesus
This new evangelistic resource combines the benefits of a fresh and accurate translation of Luke's Gospel, with the strengths of Two ways to live, in an attractively presented, and very inexpensive 80 page book.
