Stirrers and Saints provides biblical, theological and pastoral pointers to help all involved in church leadership become both spiritually mature and effective leaders. Leadership in the church really matters, but sadly it is often undermined by toxic leaders hitting the headlines. Yet often the most spiritual people in the church do not make strong leaders. So how can we square the circle? Stirrers and Saints offers a timely appeal for Christians of all personality types to answer God's call to be leaders in the church, stirring things up and providing 'saintly' leadership. By exploring spiritual formation practices, studying biblical leaders, and providing practices to help us become leaders, Brian Harris provides practical resources to raise godly leaders who can lead well. Debunking the myth that only 'charismatic' personalities make good leaders, Stirrers and Saints empowers godly people to step into their leadership calling, whatever their leadership style, and lead well from a place of spiritual maturity. Stirrers and Saints will help: Leaders become more effective and spiritually mature Provide training resources for ministry teams Develop and nurture new leaders Encourage people to step into leadership roles Create and sustain healthy churches Full of practical and biblical insight, Stirrers and Saints provides a valuable resource to help churches develop and sustain healthy leadership teams that can lead well both theologically and pastorally.

Balaam’s Donkey is a series of daily reflections based on the homilies preached by Cistercian monk Michael Casey over his fifty years of priesthood. What remained of the original homilies was a large box full of index cards with a few talking points on each. From there, Casey has re-created the homilies and recast them into short reflections, arranged randomly for every day of the year. The range of topics discussed is broad and the approach taken differs with each reflection, most of them colored with a touch of Casey’s whimsy and good humor.

New Zealanders, while generally peaceable and tolerant people, have seldom shied away from war. Even in the current era, Anzac Day is a major event here, and the haka performed by our national rugby team is one of our most recognisable cultural exports. But throughout New Zealand’s history there have also been frequent efforts to oppose war and promote peace, and these have often drawn upon traditions within the Christian faith. New Zealand Christians were not uniformly or impeccably peaceable; pacifists were usually either a minority in the more established churches, or members of smaller denominations that were firmly anti-war, such as the Quakers. It took strong convictions and a good deal of bravery to question war in the face of majority opinion. Those ‘saints’ who pushed for peace were invariably stirrers. This book focuses on Christian peacemaking and opposition to war in the period from the nineteenth century until the end of the Second World War. It provides critical insights into New Zealand Christianity, as well as peace activism, politics, and New Zealand society more generally.

This is a book about how New Zealanders have been inspired by visions for peace. Focusing on diverse Christian communities, it explores some of the ways that peace has influenced their practices, lifestyles and politics from the Second World War to the present—the period in which New Zealand’s peaceable image and reputation as ‘God’s Own Country’ grew and flourished. New Zealand Christians and others have worked for peace in many different ways, from attention-grabbing protests against nuclear weapons, apartheid and war, to quieter but no less important efforts to improve relationships within their churches, communities and the natural environment. Taken together their stories reveal a multifaceted but deeply influential thread of Christian peacemaking within New Zealand culture. These stories are by turns challenging and inspiring, poignant and amusing, and they continue to reverberate today in a world where peace remains elusive for many.
