Spurgeon's Theology for Multiplying Disciples and Churches

The Story of How Spurgeon and the Metropolitan Tabernacle Followed Christ

By: Rod Earls

Spurgeon is known for his sermons, but it is a wonderful study to learn from him the theology and practice which drove him and the Metropolitan Tabernacle to plant two hundred churches in and around London. How did they accomplish this? This book presents the story and principles of Spurgeon and his church which God taught and guided them to implement, and how pastors and churches today can apply them. Each of us need a solid model to take heart from and follow. Spurgeon and the Metropolitan Tabernacle meets that need. There is great wisdom and practical encouragement to be received from their example for every Christian, church leader, and pastor to enjoy for Christ’s work. This work was written to help make this experience possible and probable under God’s good blessings. Read, pray, reflect, grow, and go for the Savior and souls!

Physics of Baseball & Softball

By: Rod Cross

This book describes the physics of baseball and softball, assuming that the reader has a basic background in both physics and mathematics. The physics will be explained in a conversational style, with words and illustrations, so that the explanations make sense. The book provides an excellent opportunity to explain physics at a relatively simple level, even though the primary objective is to explain the many subtle features concerning the physics of baseball. For those readers who already know quite a bit of physics and who will be comfortable with mathematical equations, additional material of this nature will be provided in appendices. The latest research findings and statistical data have been incorporated by the author. The book also contains many simple experiments that the reader can perform to convince themselves that the effects described do indeed exist.

Queenslanders

Their Historic Timbered Homes

By: Rod Fisher

In a single timely tome, Rod Fisher packs a lot of what’s known about the history of the timbered house in Qld – the sum of research, writing and practice over 4 decades. While breaking new ground on its origin and development, the first 4 chapters concern several key themes: 1. the evolution of a Vernacular class of housing in the north of Australia: from aboriginal to modern day, comprising a series of styles and the means of identifying each one by era and attribute 2. the historical context to traditional housing: using census data and contemporary testimony to amplify its configuration which reflects cyclical condition, personal choice and social acceptance 3. the human dimension to the main varieties of habitat and its environment: specifically the pros and cons of observers and occupants of the day followed by resolution of their discrepancies 4 whether Brisbane was in any way different from the rest of the state: examining which varieties made the greatest imprint, from elite and multiple types to the predominant gabled, hipped, pyramidal and later multi-gabled dwellings of the Vernacular tradition The next couple of chapters are casestudies illustrating those aspects, particularly the evolution of traditional housing and the impact of historical change. Though set in Brisbane they reflect larger issues: 5. the early inner suburb of Petrie Terrace: which exhibits not only changes in timbered housing over time, but also the effect of road improvement, shopping centre diversion, stadium development, building renovation and gentrification more generally 6. a timbered dwelling of nearby Bowen Hills: which, being modified several times in its lifetime and finally removed elsewhere, demonstrates change, as well as the influence of the locale and the impact of transportation improvements on housing and community At the same time, this volume serves as a guide and reference, partly by information, advice and example, but more specifically by means of the handy classification of Vernacular styles in the 1st chapter, and ultimately by instructions for researching any house in Qld: 7. a step-by-step guide to historical investigation and exposition: using a dwelling in Annerley/Tarragindi as the example That practical purpose is reinforced in the final 3 chapters by a Supplement of related material, Glossary of requisite terms and Bibliography of relevant sources on both the history and heritage of timbered housing – plus plentiful illustrations of course. As there hasn’t been a work on this intriguing subject for a long time – nor anything ever like this one – it will serve general readers, professionals, researchers, writers and academics on the one hand, and owners, occupants, renovators, restorers and vendors on the other, whether in Brisbane, Qld or elsewhere in Australia. To all and sundry, its core message is conveyed by one of Joni Mitchell’s bygone ballads: Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘Till it’s gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

By: Rod Baker

DIY Hints and Tips is a book that no one should be without. For both the seasoned handyman and those who have no flair for things DIY, this book will be a very useful source of information when tackling everyday chores around the home and garden, such as removing mildew in the bathroom, replacing a broken windowpane or making a temporary pipe repair. The aim of the book is to provide sufficient information to get you started with simple DIY tasks and to encourage you to do little jobs in the home without having to call in and pay exorbitant prices for an expert’s advice and services.

A wide range of subjects has been incorporated including a section on the tools you should have in order to do small DIY tasks around the house. Some of the main topics include woodwork, metalwork, electricity, plumbing, painting and door hardware. Hints and tips on basic safety, security, your car and first aid also feature in the book. DIY Hints and Tips has been compiled with both men and women in mind. By the time the man of the house returns home, his partner will already have put up that shelf herself with the help of this book – and it will stay up!

Forbidden Paths

Book One

By: Rod Mortin

Members of three tribes are drawn by fate into the menacing Rift Valley. They come from opposing tribes yet follow individual paths that lead to love and friendship. The story opens with a tough-minded, take-action woman fleeing the brute who replaced her father as leader of the Mila Tanari tribe. She chooses to jump into the Rift rather than be the pawn of the tribe's new leader. A cute and brilliant inventor descends into the valley via ropes and pulleys with his lover, Kareel, to escape the persecution of his Geneer tribe. Together they make a home and are happy until Kareel’s untimely death. A handsome and sensitive healer, a member of the MeTech tribe, is so troubled by the greed of his new stepmother that he trips while gathering plants and tumbles into the Rift Valley. These three are as different as their tribes. Chased by the beasts that patrol the valley floor, the unlikely allies must forge a path toward friendship to survive. Curiosity lures them down a dangerous path in a quest to understand the ruins long protected by the carnivores. The secret they discover changes everything they thought they knew about their tribes and their world. Forbidden Paths is Book One of an exciting trilogy by Rod Mortin. Filled with non-stop action, powerful relationships, and a quest for truth, the Paths Trilogy will inspire you to examine your own beliefs about those outside your tribe.

Ladies and gentlemen, for the very final time, Elizabeth and Edwin Barnabus will perform the grand illusion of the Vanishing Man. Elizabeth Barnabus is a mutineer and a murderer. So they say. The noose awaits in Liverpool as punishment for her crimes. But they’ll have to catch her first. Disguised as a labourer, Elizabeth flees west across America, following a rumour of her long-lost family. Crossing the border into the wilds of the Oregon Territory, she discovers a mustering army, a king who believes he is destined to conquer the world, and a weapon so powerful that it could bring the age of reason crashing down. In a land where politics and prophecy are one and the same, the fate of the Gas-Lit Empire may come to rest on the perfect execution of a conjuring trick…

The Adventure

The Art of Earning One's Stripes

By: Rod Shipley

Adventures are often best when they aren't planned. At least that's been the case for Rod Shipley. Just released from the Marine Corps and studying geomorphology in college, Rod never dreams of working with exotic animals. He just needs a job. So when he sees an employment ad at a local drive-thru safari park, he thinks, why not? Little does he realize how this random decision will forever alter his life. He is hired and soon discovers that the safari park is not just a park for tourists. It is the largest importer/exporter of exotic animals in the world, and he is enlisted to help care for more than two hundred animals waiting to be shipped overseas. A youth with no experience, Rod learns from the ground up how to endure all the bumps, cuts, and bruises that come with working with rhinos, elephants, chimps, bears, and big cats. The Adventure: The Art of Earning One's Stripes details Rod's exciting adventures raising a baby rhino, training and working with a pride of lions for a Hollywood movie, battling floods to save animals, escorting animals for overseas shipping, developing a reptile show, and more -- all accompanied with extensive and colorful photographs. After five years on the job, Rod is transformed from a scatterbrained youth to a well-disciplined and focused wildlife ranger.

The Wasps and the Locusts

By: Rod Murphy

Rod Murphy's religious allegory and satirical fable uses the natural world and its inhabitants to enact a drama of epic proportions--the ultimate clash of good and evil. Populated by symbolic animal characters, the Man's Farm becomes a stage where the biblical Book of Joel comes to life. Amanda the wasp, displaced and alone on the Man's Farm, must fight to survive in a hostile, polluted world. After she joins the nest of another wasp species, her new home proves malevolent and treacherous. She must combat petty jealousy and internecine conflict to ensure her own survival and that of her new home. When a dubious alliance is formed between her adoptive wasp family and the hornets, Amanda realizes something is gravely wrong, but what exactly is afoot? And when she realizes that hordes of destructive locusts are coming, bringing pestilence and starvation with them, will her nestmates believe her and act accordingly, or will civilization as Amanda knows it come to an end?

The Bishop of South Park

The Bishop of South Park

By: Rod Mills

Byron Zorn graduated first in his class at the prestigious Little Country Parish University. A brilliant mind, tireless researcher, and gifted speaker, Zorn aspired to serve God behind the pulpit of a large, hopefully high profile church someday. That was plan A. Then The Lord revealed plan B—assistant bishop of Holy Ground Miracle Gospel Tabernacle, a small black church in the all black South Park District. Though the position was non-salaried, and the flock had a way of making the job full time, Byron Zorn, a white man, accepted. The Bishop of South Park is the story of a young white preacher’s journey into an unfamiliar culture of black gospel distinctives and expectations. Byron Zorn understood perfectly the way the whites did church. He had yet to come to terms with the black way of doing it. “Bishop, you preach like a white man.” “I am a white man!” “Yeah, and ain’t nobody holding it against you, neither. But Bishop, you could do better.” The Bishop of South Park is a humorous and heart rending love story of sacrifice and courage within the volatile waters of interracial relationships.

Turkish Waters and Cyprus Pilot covers the entire coast of Turkey from the Black Sea down the Aegean coast and around to the Syrian border. The coasts, ports and marinas of the island of Cyprus are also described. There are few more beautiful cities in the world that it is possible to sail into the heart of, but that is what the authors were able to do in Istanbul while researching this, the tenth edition. Their research also took them south as far as Göçek and to Cyprus. Much has changed, with new marinas completed and more under construction, but much has also stayed the same, namely the warmth and hospitality of the people you encounter. This new edition includes all the latest information and marina developments, with new plans and photos, many of which were taken by the authors. Turkish Waters and Cyprus Pilot is considered the essential companion to sailing these waters.

East Aegean

By: Rod and Lucinda Heikell

The expanded third edition of this popular cruising guide encompasses the Greek Dodecanese islands and the Turkish coast eastwards from the Samos Strait to Kas and Kekova. Fully illustrated with up to date plans and numerous new photographs, it is packed with all the essential information for getting to the area, formalities and sailing these beautiful cruising grounds. There is a level of further detail to this coverage in terms of anchorages and other destinations than is found in the Heikell’s Greek Waters Pilot and Turkish Waters and Cyprus Pilot. This handy guide also whets the appetite for the local cuisine and culture and gives some historic context to exploration ashore. The fantastic background information with historical and mythological anecdotes gives ... a richness too often missing from bald pilot guides. Royal Cruising Club ... no East Med cruiser will want to sail without a copy. Yachting Monthly
