| Description: |
Departure(s) is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life - but it doesn't end there. Ultimately, it's about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye. |

| Description: |
In a flourishing garden beyond all worlds, aging Greek gods gather to discuss existence, consciousness, and whether a transcendent God is the source of all reality. When Psyche asks Eros, "Do you see this flower, my love?", David Bentley Hart begins an imaginative philosophical dialogue exploring the mystery of mind.
Written in the style of Plato, the book challenges the mechanistic worldview that has dominated Western thought for centuries. Through the gods' conversations, Hart argues that consciousness cannot be reduced to material processes and that mind, life, and language point instead to an underlying spiritual intelligence we may call God.
Engaging debates on free will, artificial intelligence, physics, biology, linguistics, information theory, and the philosophy of mind, Hart presents a vision of nature as alive with meaning and intelligence. He invites readers to rediscover an enchanted world, where contemplation of living things offers deeper wisdom than the relentless pursuit of machines. |

| Description: |
When Makoto Fujimura painted as a child, he experienced a mysterious electrical charge that he later came to understand as the presence of his Creator. Through decades of painting, writing, and reflection, he has come to see art making as a discipline of awareness, prayer, and praise that reconnects us with our original light.
In Art Is, Fujimura shares his creative journey, revealing his process-driven "slow art," created with pulverized minerals, gold, and pigments made from oyster shells while reflecting on the natural world around him. He weaves together Japanese aesthetics, Christian theology, the art of tea, literature, ecology, and personal experience, drawing inspiration from William Blake, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Scripture, and the traditional Japanese painting technique of Nihonga.
The book invites readers to embrace art as a way of seeing the world through diverse, prismatic perspectives, offering beauty, hope, and wisdom for navigating today's fractured and divided world. |

| Description: |
Over the past three decades, Pico Iyer has made more than a hundred journeys to a small hermitage overlooking the sea in Big Sur, California. Though neither a Christian nor a member of any religious group, his life has been profoundly transformed by time spent there in silence.
Iyer explores the stillness and joy he discovers at the monastery, even as his own life is marked by upheaval: homes burn, a parent dies and a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. Alongside his own reflections, he shares insights from others who have found strength through adversity and inwardness, revealing how solitude can deepen our capacity for community and compassion.
Offering a rare outsider's view of monastic life, Iyer celebrates those who preserve spaces for quiet reflection. This is a timeless meditation on silence, and what it can teach us about living, loving and dying. |

Philosophers have been grappling with these questions for thousands of years, and they remain as vital as ever in our present moment. Here, in a selection of essays each written by a different world expert, we explore the ideas of twelve strikingly different philosophers.
From Thomas Aquinas' "evil is the privation of good", Hannah Arendt's 'banality of evil' to Nietzsche's embrace of suffering, from John Stuart Mill's ethics of happiness to the ruthless realism of Machiavelli, there is an approach for readers of all persuasions. This is the book for anyone trying to understand how humans can sometimes behave so badly, and how we can all be better. |

| Price: |
AU$79.95 |
| Description: |
Nicholas A. Elder challenges long-held assumptions about how the Gospels were composed, read, and circulated in the ancient world. Drawing on Greco-Roman literary culture, papyrology, and the latest historical research, he dismantles familiar myths, such as the belief that ancient people rarely read silently or that all four Gospels functioned as the same kind of text.
Instead, Elder offers a nuanced account of the diverse media environments in which Jesus traditions were written, copied, shared, and interpreted. By placing the Gospels within the broader practices of ancient communication, he illuminates how early Christian communities engaged with these texts and why their transmission was more dynamic than often imagined. Combining meticulous scholarship with accessible prose, Gospel Media reshapes our understanding of the New Testament's origins and reception.
Scholars of the gospels and classics alike will find Gospel Media an essential companion in understanding ancient media cultures. |
