  Courageous Women of the Bible -...

  Arcelio Hernández Mussio

  The Bible often remembers and celebrates the names of great men of God. People like Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, Isaiah, and Elijah are well-known for their important roles in the story of God's people. These men are honored for their faith, leadership, and the key parts they played in God's plan. 
  However, as we delve into the Scriptures, we often overlook the equally significant contributions of women of God. The Bible, while rich with the stories of these men, also holds accounts of extraordinary women whose strength, wisdom, and faithfulness were crucial to the unfolding of God's narrative. For instance, Sarah's faith in God's promise of a son, Ruth's loyalty to her mother-in-law, and Mary's acceptance of her role in God's plan. Yet, these women often remain in the background, their stories less frequently told, their virtues less regularly celebrated. 
  This book is a necessary contribution to Christian literature, as it celebrates the strength and wisdom of prominent women in the Bible. In the pages you are about to read, you will get a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary women. Their faith and actions were significant and played pivotal roles in shaping the Biblical narrative. The book is organized chronologically, starting with the Old Testament and moving through to the New Testament, to provide a comprehensive view of these women's contributions. 
  This book celebrates these 30 women, each embodying unique qualities and virtues that can guide and inspire us in our modern lives. Their stories offer timeless lessons on resilience, faith, leadership, and profound love, demonstrating that the challenges and virtues they faced are just as relevant and applicable in our lives today. Whether it is Hannah's unwavering faith, Abigail's strategic wisdom, or Ruth's selfless loyalty, these women provide powerful examples of how to live with purpose and integrity in our contemporary world.

  My Walk With God

  "My Walk With God" by Timothy Trivett fearlessly records the rugged venture of struggle, where pain advances into every life, leaving no one untouched by its distinct states – be it physical suffering or the quiet, unseen ache of the soul. It points out the isolating essence of loneliness, where one can be surrounded by people yet feel utterly alone, and the disorienting sensation of being lost, walking through life without a clear direction. This book addresses the reality of human struggle. It acknowledges that no one is exempt from life's burdens. Yet, amidst this rawness, a way forward arises, a light, even in the shadiest of areas, as the author undergoes personal battles with addiction, the shattering loss of a brother, and the complications of a family in crisis. Ultimately, Trivett attests to the power of conviction. He depicts how living by faith is not a singular event but a constant, ongoing method. It is a daily choice to embrace 'God's law' over the momentary promises of the world. Moreover, it's a journey characterized by moments of surrender and the realization that redemption is always possible, even in brokenness.

  Tall tales of bushmen, bulldozers and back-country blokes 
    
  'It was the mid-1970s and I was about eight, I thought it was completely normal for your old man to pull out a high-powered deer-hunting rifle and fire it through the kitchen door from the breakfast table...' 
  In the 1970s and 80s, Barry Bellamy was a fair old bushman, traversing the back-country from Hawke's Bay to the far north in a blue ex-airforce Land Rover. His son Mike would join him as he took up work, wherever he could get it. Tough Country is Mike's story, about a bygone era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. Later, Mike forged his own life working on the land, and his stories of the characters of the 1980s and 90s, from tradies to digger-drivers, are as hilarious as they are quintessentially Kiwi.
