Bowling Through India : Five Kiwi Blokes Take On India At Cricket order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: Justin Brown Photography by Brendon O'Hagan
A blokes' weekend away. Yarns, jokes, good-humoured sledging, clowning around.. the usual guy-time thing, right? But for these five Kiwi chaps - a high country farmer, a radio DJ, a businessman, a photographer and a shoe-string traveller called Blanket Boy- it gets a bit more complicated when it's decided not to head for the Bay of Islands, the Sounds or Ohope. No, they're going to India, with a bat and a ball and a quest to play cricket wherever they can find a bit of clear ground and a team keen to take them on. From Varanasi to Madras, Agra to Delhi, they take to the pitch in the weirdest of locations to face off against kids who can bat and bowl like demons. On the way they learn a lot of about life, love, death, suffering, compassion and the fascination of India. In equal parts a book about travel, humour, mateship and the love of cricket that unites people whatever the age, situation and station, an endearing and affecting read.

Every Day's a Good Day : The inspirational true story of William Pike's survival on Mt Ruapehu order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: William Pike
William Pike, a 22-year-old school teacher from Auckland, came to the attention of the nation on 25 September 2007 when, while tramping on Mt Ruapehu, he was critically injured during a volcanic eruption. William was trapped inside the hut, surrounded by mud and rocks and in freezing temperatures, while his friend went for help. When the rescue team arrived he was suffering from such severe hypothermia he was not expected to survive. Defying the odds, William spent two months in Waikato Hospital, at first fighting for his life, and then in slow, steady recovery. But, despite having had his lower right leg amputated, just barely keeping his left leg and facing yet more reconstructive surgery, William is philosophical about his life-altering injuries. His inspirational story begins with his trip to Nepal at the age of 12, which awakened his interest in outdoor pursuits of all kinds, and continues through his teens and early twenties as ... more

God of the Whenua : Rural ministry in Aotearoa New Zealand order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Bill Bennett
The rural church has been profoundly affected by economic and social change, and by theological and liturgical revolution in the wider church. With an ecumenical scope, Bill Bennett looks in-depth at the traditional churches that still maintain a rural presence and their ministries. Bennet develops a theology of land in Aotearoa New Zealand, and a theology of mission and ministry that may be seen a starting point for all who minister in rural areas.
