Tier 1 Christianity

The Stories, Lessons, and Heroes of the Special Operations Community. The Gospel of Jesus, and the Journey of Discipleship

By: Dr ew Alan Hall

To be a tier 1 operator requires a commitment to being the best of the best. A choice that requires passion, work, sacrifice, and mental toughness. Each member of this elite community chose that life and all that comes with it. That choice enters them into life that rejects average and apathy. The title of tier 1 operator is earned every single day. The world has a problem with accepting average as the standard. Apathy has crept into our work ethic and relationships. Without warning, the same attitude of apathy can invade our faith. This is a personal choice for each of us. Remember, Jesus calls us to pick up our cross daily and follow him. Just because apathy is the standard the world accepts, it does not have to be ours. If you want to become a better disciple of Jesus, then this book is for you. If you are exploring Christianity, then this book is for you. If your faith needs some encouragement, then this book is for you. In Tier 1 Christianity, we will draw connections between the lessons, stories, and heroes of the tier 1 community and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is calling each of us to be the greatest disciple we can be. To avoid being lukewarm at all cost and to strive to be soul set on fire for Jesus!

'Boredom is the Enemy'

The Intellectual and Imaginative Lives of Australian Soldiers in the Great War and Beyond

By: Dr Amanda Laugesen

War is often characterised as one percent terror, 99 per cent boredom. Whilst much ink has been spilt on the one per cent, relatively little work has been directed toward the other 99 per cent of a soldier's time. As such, this book will be welcomed by those seeking a fuller understanding of what makes soldiers endure war, and how they cope with prolonged periods of inaction. It explores the issue of military boredom and investigates how soldiers spent their time when not engaged in battle, work or training through a study of their creative, imaginative and intellectual lives. It examines the efforts of military authorities to provide solutions to military boredom (and the problem of discipline and morale) through the provisioning of entertainment and education, but more importantly explores the ways in which soldiers responded to such efforts, arguing that soldiers used entertainment and education in ways that suited them. The focus in the book is on Australians and their experiences, primarily during the First World War, but with subsequent chapters taking the story through the Second World War to the Vietnam War. This focus on a single national group allows questions to be raised about what might (or might not) be exceptional about the experiences of a particular national group, and the ways national identity can shape an individual's relationship and engagement with education and entertainment. It can also suggest the continuities and changes in these experiences through the course of three wars. The story of Australians at war illuminates a much broader story of the experience of war and people's responses to war in the twentieth century.

Cricket, Literature and Culture

Symbolising the Nation, Destabilising Empire

By: Dr Anthony Bateman

In his important contribution to the growing field of sports literature, Anthony Bateman traces the relationship between literary representations of cricket and Anglo-British national identity from 1850 to the mid 1980s. Examining newspaper accounts, instructional books, fiction, poetry, and the work of editors, anthologists, and historians, Bateman elaborates the ways in which a long tradition of literary discourse produced cricket's cultural status and meaning. His critique of writing about cricket leads to the rediscovery of little-known texts and the reinterpretation of well-known works by authors as diverse as Neville Cardus, James Joyce, the Great War poets, and C.L.R. James. Beginning with mid-eighteenth century accounts of cricket that provide essential background, Bateman examines the literary evolution of cricket writing against the backdrop of key historical moments such as the Great War, the 1926 General Strike, and the rise of Communism. Several case studies show that cricket simultaneously asserted English ideals and created anxiety about imperialism, while cricket's distinctively colonial aesthetic is highlighted through Bateman's examination of the discourse surrounding colonial cricket tours and cricketers like Prince Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji of India and Sir Learie Constantine of Trinidad. Featuring an extensive bibliography, Bateman's book shows that, while the discourse surrounding cricket was key to its status as a symbol of nation and empire, the embodied practice of the sport served to destabilise its established cultural meaning in the colonial and postcolonial contexts.
