| Description: |
Cosmic Love begins with a look at how our view of nature has shifted, from a mysterious, divine presence to a system of material objects governed by science. Along the way, it explores feminist critiques of science and the intriguing implications of quantum theory, ultimately calling for a more holistic understanding of nature, one that engages all our senses and offers deeper insight.
The second part turns to love, especially passionate love, through the lens of Teilhard de Chardin's idea that love is the most powerful yet least understood force in the universe. Love is presented as personal and transformative, a force for union, a glimpse of the divine, and a promise for the future.
The final section re-imagines God not just as a distant Creator, but as present within creation itself. It reflects on the evolving idea of God in religion, with a focus on a God of the future and the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. The book closes with a personal reflection on the God of faith, the God who surprises, transforms, and draws all things into unity. |

| Description: |
When Bo Seo was eight, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. He did not speak English at the time and struggled at school. But everything changed in year five when he was introduced to debating. Surprisingly, this competitive activity turned out to be ideal for someone shy and uncertain. Through debating, Bo found his voice and confidence, excelling both academically and socially. He went on to win world championships with teams from Australia and Harvard University.
Debating, he argues, is not just about arguing to win, it is about clarity, persuasion, and understanding opposing views without hostility. From the politics of Malcolm X to Artificial Intelligence, Seo shows how good-faith debate can enrich our lives and strengthen democracy in an age of increasing division and bad faith. |

| Description: |
The first Christians confronted a cultural environment vastly more hostile than today's. They had no powerful backers, very little money and numbered no more than a few hundred. Yet they revolutionised the ancient world and spread their movement far and wide.
There is a deep, pervasive crisis of meaning and purpose across all Western societies today. Greg Sheridan encourages us to listen to the voices of the early Christians and emulate their commitment, integrity, resilience and smarts. He shows how early Christians built communities, met persecution with courage and grace, dispensed universal mercy during plagues, pioneered equality for women, and redefined the nature and purpose of the human experience, always with Jesus Christ at the centre of their lives. |

AU$46.95 |
| Description: |
A memoir for the bookish-inclined, using personal stories to demonstrate how books have a magical way to move a person from one stage of life to the next.
Former bookseller, longtime publisher and author Jon M. Sweeney shows with history and anecdotes centering around books, such as Thoreau's Journal, Tagore's Gitanjali, Martin Buber's Hasidic Tales, and Tolstoy's Twenty-three Tales, what it means to be carried by a book.
He explores the discovery that once accompanied finding books, and books finding us. He ponders the smell of an old volume, its heft, and why bibliophiles carry them around even without reading them. He demonstrates how and why there is magic and enchantment that takes place between people and books. |

AU$59.95 |
| Description: |
To be a disciple is to follow Jesus. And that requires action. But in the Gospels, the disciples often falter. The Twelve even abandon Jesus at his crucifixion in many of the narratives. Yet it is female disciples who remain faithful to Jesus to the end. What do we make of this?
In Women Who Do, Holly J. Carey examines what it means to be a disciple, and contends that it's the women who best embody discipleship in the Gospels. Carey describes the expectations and social roles for women in first-century Greco-Roman and Jewish contexts. Then she offers a close reading of each of the four Gospels, as well as Acts of the Apostles.
What emerges is a cohesive narrative-critical case that the Twelve are not an equivalent group to the disciples. In fact, the Twelve are set as foils against the faithful, active, and often nameless disciples who populate the narratives, many of whom are women. |
