Authentic Media The Church Who Hears God's Voice: Equipping everyone to recognise and respond to the Spirit
After experiencing the transforming power of hearing God’s voice in her own life, Rev Dr Tania Harris set out to unlock the questions Christians have debated for centuries: How does God speak? How do you know it’s God? and What difference does it make to the church? As the central feature of the Spirit’s outpouring at Pentecost and the grand prize of the New Covenant, the prospect of universal access to the Spirit is a powerful but pastorally sensitive concept. Drawing on insights from theology, sociology and personal testimony, Harris skilfully presents a comprehensive theology and pastoral strategy for how the church, whatever the denomination, can hear the Spirit’s voice for themselves. Rev Dr Tania Harris enables church leaders to safely and effectively lead their people into a powerful experience that was intended to be a normal part of every Christian’s life. Content Benefits: Rev Dr Harris helps church leaders to transform their local church into a place where everyone can hear the Spirit’s voice for themselves. • Combines theology and experiential practice • Explores the relationship between Spirit and Scripture • Unpacks the challenge of Cessationism • Explains the authority of contemporary revelatory experience • Addresses the pastoral issues associated with hearing from the Spirit • Scholarly yet accessible style • Helpful for church leaders who want their congregations to hear from God • Suitable for Christian thinkers who want to understand the role of the Spirt in the Bible and today

Authentic Media Evidence that Demands a Verdict (Anglicized): Life-Changing Truth for a Sceptical World
God's Word tells us we must "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" (1 Peter 3:15). This updated classic from Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell will give you the tools you need to do just that. The modern apologetics classic that started it all is now completely revised and updated-because the truth of the Bible doesn't change, but its critics do.

Since that time, Evidence has remained a trusted resource for believers young and old. Bringing historical documentation and the best modern scholarship to bear on the trustworthiness of the Bible and its teachings, this extensive volume has encouraged and strengthened millions. Now, with his son Sean McDowell, Josh McDowell has updated and expanded this classic resource for a new generation. This is a book that invites readers to bring their doubts and doesn't shy away from the tough questions.

Authentic Media The Virgin Monologues: Confessions of a Christian Girl in a Twenty-First-Century World
An insightful, inspirational, amusing and honest guide to relationships for the modern single Christian woman. How does the single Christian woman maintain her relationships while staying true to herself? How can she thrive in a predominately secular culture and keep her faith in a world that doesn't reflect her values? The Virgin Monologues teaches how to do healthy relationships, what to fight for and what to give up on. It gives healthy principles to understand before looking for a team mate. Endorsements: "It may be that this does not paint the whole picture of your single life, but guaranteed there will be plenty of shared experience, hurts, accidents and adventures within these pages. With refreshing honesty, courage and humour Carrie publicly has the conversation so many of us have had in private. Her passion for Christ is a constant theme throughout this engaging, challenging and inspiring read." - Katharine Welby-Roberts A21 Ambassador, blogger, speaker. "It's tough being a single Christian girl in a world full of feelings and emotions and expectations and hopes and dreams and aspirations. Like a best friend spilling her deepest thoughts onto the page - some heartbreaking and some hilarious - Carrie takes us on a journey past shame and heartache and faux pas to healing and freedom and truth. This book will be a companion to any sassy young woman wanting to make sense of who she is in the midst of all of life's stuff." - Chine Mbubaegbu, head of media & communications Evangelical Alliance; author of Am I Beautiful? (Authentic) "The Virgin Monologues opens up much-needed space for dialogue in the Christian community about the way we communicate to women and girls about sex. Carrie's sincerity and openness about her personal experiences offer a relatable alternative to the dysfunction of the corporate media's version of today's sexual narrative and the too often shaming response from the religious communities. The Virgin Monologues should be a staple in every spiritual library." - Ben Decker, Marketing & PR Consultant, Social Activist, Human Rights Advocate "I love this book. It is honest, funny, challenging and inspiring. Just like its author. Carrie is not afraid to say it as she sees it, and whether you agree with her or not, what comes across more than anything else is her infectious passion for Jesus and her longing for others to encounter him and be changed." - Bill Cahusac, 24-7 Prayer GB Leadership Team "If, like me, you're dissatisfied with the rubbish about love, life and relationships that you sometimes inhale, here's your chance to breathe in beautiful and wild words of wisdom that lead to Life. Carrie has captured the art of celebrating who she is while still believing the best is yet to come. It makes for a captivating read and an even more infectious life!" - Rachel Gardner, Founder, Romance Academy "The Virgin Monologues is a wonderfully courageous ride through love and life. I found Carrie's honest communication about what it's like to navigate the joyous and sometimes perilous journey though relationships refreshing. In her book Carrie has invited us to not only do better in relationships but to be a better people. I know this book may seem, on the surface, to be geared towards women. However, men will find it fascinating and challenging and will probably be better men for reading it. A must read!" - Gabe Valenzuela, 2nd Year Overseer, Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry "In this book Carrie reminds us that what is most important is actually understanding and living out of a place of knowing who we are in Christ, and how that needs to be at the foundation of how we see ourselves. When we do it will transform how we do relationships - single people or married." - Nici Cahusac

Authentic Media God Conversations: Stories of How God Speaks and What Happens When We Listen
How do I know it's God? is one of the most commonly asked questions of new and mature Christians alike, and the aim of God Conversations is to both equip and inspire the reader and show them that hearing the voice of the Spirit is accessible to everyone who chooses to follow Jesus. Most Christians know that God speaks, yet struggle with how to recognise his voice in their everyday lives. What does God's voice sound like? How do we know if what we're hearing is from God? Stories of God talking to his people abound throughout the Bible, but we usually only get the highlights. We read; "And God said to Joseph; 'Go to Egypt'", and then; "Mary and Joseph left for Egypt." We don't get a blow-by-blow description of how God spoke. We don't receive a detailed explanation of how they knew it was God, and we don't get to see what was going on inside their heads as they acted on what they'd heard. In God Conversations, international speaker and pastor Tania Harris shares insights from her own journey about hearing God's voice. You'll get to eavesdrop on some contemporary conversations with God in the light of his communication with the ancient characters of the Bible. Part memoir, part teaching, this unique and creative collection of stories will help you to recognise God's voice when he speaks and how to respond when you do. Tania has woven theology, biblical stories and her personal journey together to show us how God speaks. MELINDA DWIGHT, ALPHA AUSTRALIA Read it and buckle up!

Authentic Media The Forerunner Cry: Preparing Our Lives for Jesus' Return
William Porter combines a balanced and insightful look at end times events with a practical guide on how the certainty of Jesus' return should impact the way Christians live now. Talking about the end times can often seem confusing with so many different interpretations held by Christians. William Porter deftly examines the issues and events to provide a measured and biblical middle way through the subject. One thing is clear- Jesus is coming back as a conquering king. Porter believes that this might be much nearer than we think and asks the big question: How would we live our lives if we really believed that Jesus was coming soon? Porter invites us to be 'forerunners' preparing the world for Jesus' return by declaring to modern society that Jesus is coming again. Questions are included throughout the book to help think through how that practically impacts our lives and our evangelism. The Forerunner Cry enables readers to understand the biblical teachings on the end times, live a godly life, and be confident to pass on the message of the imminent return of Jesus.
