The Three Battlegrounds by Francis Frangipane
ISBN 9781874367260 £6:99
The truth is that life is a battle; most of the time we're only too aware of that! I don't know why I haven't read this book before. I recommend it for its brevity, its clarity and its authority. I am stirred by its reasonable and unsensational treatment of the principalities and powers, and will read it through again. In a level yet devastating way, it reminds us of the war that faces us in our mind, in our chuch, and in the heavens. While the believer can claim and live in peace, too many of us live in fear and doubt, in failure and in apathy. Are you on the Lord's side? Arise, O sleeper and rise from the dead. Or, to put it in more modern parlance, wake up and smell the coffee!

“Conquering the Dragon”
Kim Goh with Andrew Chamberlain
Published by Authentic @ £6.99: Special Living Word ISBN 9781860246166 price £4.99.
“But in the midst of the tears and the sense of shame, I realised that whatever I had been searching for all these years, I had now found it.”
Each of us, from whatever background we come, has inside of us a God-shaped hole, that causes us to be dissatisfied with life and prompts us to search for the truth until we find God. Many ignore this prompting. For Kim Goh, born in

Irresistible Revolution, by Shane Claiborne.
ISBN 9780310266303 £7.99
For the past ten years or so Shane Claiborne has been following a calling from God to live among the poor, homeless and marginalised people of inner city Philadelphia. He and a group of college friends decided to sell everything they had and follow Jesus. They set up a community called The Simple Way and share a house in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of the city. Their mission is: To Love God. To Love people. To Follow Jesus." We're giving that our best shot". (Simple Way website)
This is an extraordinary book that challenges the reader to ask: Could I give up so much?
Is Jesus asking more of me than I thought?!

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT by Arthur Wallis
ISBN 9780875085746 £6:50
I had already read In the Day of Thy Power, God's Chosen Fast and The Radical Christian by this key leader of the house church movement. This book, however, is the shortest (nice quick chapters!), the most hard-hitting, and the most rewarding I've so far come across. Regarding prayer, Wallis observes "the fact is, as we well know, we always find time for what we want to do, and are only too busy for what we don't want to do and don't have to do." If you struggle with prayer, and feel convicted, then read this book to get a fresh wind. When it comes down to it, unless we are praying in the power of the Holy Spirit, we are wasting our time. What gripped me most, as with God's Chosen Fast, are the accounts of intercessors who saw amazing things happen in God, for example one who agonizing in prayer for someone could see his "soul spiraling down to a lost eternity, and.. the Holy Spirit. drawing the man back". This is not an advanced intercessor's guide - it starts where we all are. But if you're equal to the challenge, it might well move you on!

PROMISED LAND
by Lou Fellingham £14.99
Lou's latest album is a stunning blend of lively and slow worship songs, which focus on just how awesome are God's mercy and goodness towards us. Lou's passion to praise Jesus is clearly heard through some truly inspiring lyrics, and, combined with her beautiful voice, I think is certainly an allbum worth buying.

SAVIOUR KING CD HMACD206 £14.99
Hillsong Live
I think this is one of the best Hillsong CDs I have listened to so far: you feel the Presence of the Lord from the beginning, all the way through to the end. If I had to pick two songs from it, they would be "You are Faithful" and "Saviour King". They tell you that the Lord is watching and looking after you; without Him we are lost and He will never leave us . He is Our Father. We love Him so much and we worship Him always. I think that everyone should listen to this CD to see how much we are in the Presence of our God. (Ron B.)
