The Church is entering a season of change. Together, we need to restore, renew and rebuild to create a more hopeful, faith-filled future - and the book of Nehemiah shows us how. With contributions from Debra Green and Paul Weston, Cris Rogers explores how we can learn from Nehemiah's story and restore our hearts, our focus and our world so that the Church can thrive as we join in with God's heart for restoring all things. An inspiring call to action, this book will challenge and equip you to join God's mission and the full ministry of Jesus.

The Life of Nehemiah and the Mission of Jesus

Restore, Renew, Rebuild

We box Jesus in. We say, 'This is how he works.' In answer to all the ways we aim to control, define and understand him, Jesus reminds us that he has immeasurably more to offer. How often do we feel like we are at the end of our energy? Not only physically and emotionally, but also spiritually? Some of us have been running this race for so long that we feel dangerously dehydrated. Jesus is calling all of us into a radical empowered life that we couldn't ever achieve in our own strength. Jesus tells his church that there is immeasurably more on offer than just a religious life, a good life or a moral life. There is more to offer our families and friends, more to offer our neighbourhoods. Jesus offers us an immeasurably more powerful and beautiful life. To a dehydrated church, Jesus announces... there is always more.

To a Dehydrated Church Jesus Has Immeasurably More to Offer.

Immeasurably More

His long held dream begins with very old books and deciphering the secrets hidden within them.While creating his first book with a ghost writer, Max Ambrose receives another case of counterfeiting; this time the Canterbury Tales. As he digs deeper, he realizes financial incentive is not why these books are being counterfeited. Vladimir Odin discovers his involvement and seeks to eliminate Max and his meddling.Will Max discover and stop the intricate plan Vladimir has laid or will he fail, allowing the subversion of our minds and hijacking our will to the whim of a madman? Will Max be able to stay out of the action or be dragged into 'sporty' intelligence missions to solidify what's happening and stop the oligarchs 'Commissars' from flicking the switch and unlocking our ability to choose our destiny? This time, Max may not have enough to halt the advancing global scheme in just two weeks. Agent Immortal is a series focused on an immortal man from Egypt living in modern Manhattan. Max Ambrose (aka Maximilian of Egypt) has endured for 2,384 years. He has stood guard over ideas and history by managing and manufacturing the written record of the past. In all his travels, Max has served as an agent to investigate, uncover the truth and protect humanity from seeing and facing the dangers of those who attack human freedom on every front.Whether as a book-nerd, investigator, political consigliere or a spy, Max has been at historical inflection points; in most cases, his presence was no accident. Max is thrust into situations he's not prepared for and doesn't want to experience. His persistent engagement with dangerous people and scenarios comes from an obligation he had made long ago along. His unique existence is a powerful wildcard for most encounters.While a loner, Max is not alone. He is supported by a cast of complex characters; colleagues, friends and significant others are at Max's side. They are integral helpers in his discover, disclosure and conquering nefarious schemes against the free peoples of the world. Chief amongst these villains is Seth, who goes by many names and is the secretive leader of a group worthy of all the tin-foil hat conspiracies. Max and Seth are destined to meet and when they do, galactic level chaos is guaranteed. Through eight epic installments, Max must unlock the plans of Seth's puppets, those who are summoned to do Seth's dirty work.Agent Immortal stories strike at the heart of human fears; brainwashing, crumbling belief systems, being different & feared, enslavement, war, the acts of madmen & realizing we are not free but puppets under the control of capricious gods. Our hero has all the foibles to match his abilities. Max has a photographic memory and is obsessive compulsive. He's immortal and yet terrified of pain through PTSD. He's the go-to asset for intelligence services and a general misanthrope. Max is incredibly sociable while longing for solitude. He loves easily and yet fears to love because of loss. Take the plunge into Ghost Keys; you're guaranteed to fall for Max right from the beginning.
