Mary Slessor : Servant To The Slave (Reprinted)
$9.99
Mary Slessor grew up in the slums of Dundee in the 1800’s. Industry was booming but housing was substandard and life expectancy was low. Illness, disease and malnutrition killed many children before they reached the age of five. Mary was lucky–born into a poor family, abused by her father she was still alive. Dundee was Mary’s training ground for a far fiercer battle. Mary left the shores of Scotland while only in her early twenties to immerse herself in reaching the lost tribes of Calibar in West Africa. Her preparation in the slums of Dundee was the key ingredient to her success on the mission field…that and her tireless trust and belief in her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He was the reason she was there. Calibar today still remembers Mary Slessor, affectionately known as “Ma”, her influence on that area of Africa was astounding. Superstition demanded that families kill twin babies and murder slaves and women at funerals–the Lord Jesus Christ that Mary Slessor brought to these people set them free from all that. They were set free from the law of sin and death. Recommended for ages 10 to 14.

Living His Story Together
$14.99In Living His Story: Revealing the Extraordinary Love of God in Ordinary Ways, Hannah Steele wrote with an infectious understanding of her subject’ (Mark Oakley, Church Times). Now she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through biblical material and real-life stories from churches on the front line.
Being His Story isn’t an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish for example) but a simple yet exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, presence, diversity and spoken witness and draws on contemporary scholarship and ideas, while being eminently suitable for study in home groups.
