Senses of the Kingdom

 

Experiencing the Tangible Richness of our Relational World

The Kingdom of God is not just something we know – it’s something we experience.

In a distracted and disconnected world, many Christians have learned about God while becoming increasingly numb to His presence. Faith can become intellectual rather than embodied, leaving people spiritually informed yet relationally distant from the life of the Kingdom. Senses of the Kingdom invites readers to rediscover a faith that engages the whole person through their senses and discern the presence of God in everyday life.

Drawing from Scripture, contemporary research, embodied spirituality, and missional practice, this book explores how the human senses shape worship, relationships, discipleship and spiritual formation. Through practical insights and reflective teaching, readers will discover how God often speaks and forms us through the ordinary experiences of the body and the world around us.

Written from years of pastoral ministry, relational leadership, integrative life practices, theological reflection, and a deep passion for incarnational Christianity, Liam Glover offers a fresh and compelling vision for those longing to experience a more present, relational, and transformative faith – through Senses of the Kingdom

The Bunyip Appears at the End

 

Go to uni – get a useless degree.
Need money – work a dead end job.
Fall in love – get dumped.

Life was stagnating for our young narrator, until his friend gave him a seemingly easy task: Get on a plane to Melbourne, pick up his car, and drive it back home to Adelaide.

While driving across the country along the Great Ocean Road, he is forced into unlikely situations, surreal moments, and an encounter with the aforementioned bunyip.

The future is unwritten, reality a scam, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. But really, it’s never about the message: only the journey to the end that reveals who you really are.

The Journey and Legacy of Early Karitsiotes in Australia

 

From Karitsa to Goodwood

A Bouquet of Memories
One Hundred Moments Between Two Homelands

In those early days, they came with a suitcase, a name, and a stubborn bit of hope.

They stepped onto the wharf in a land that smelled of salt, dust, and promise They worked wherever the day would take them, factory, field, railway, kitchen. They learned new streets, new words, new ways of getting by. But every night, somewhere between fatigue and sleep, the village returned.

Letters crossed oceans, folded with longing and a little bit of dust from home. Children grew, half in the old stories, half in the new land. One eye still watched the mountain slopes of Tsouka, or Elatias and of Asfaka.

And from those years of sweat, laughter, and stubborn courage, memories bloomed.

Here they are now, gathered like flowers from two distant fields.

Το Ταξίδι και η Παρακαταθήκη Οι Πρώτοι Καριτσιώτες στην Αυστραλία

 

Από την Καρίτσα στο Γκούντγουντ

Ένα μπουκέτο αναμνήσεων
Χίλιες και μια στιγμές ανάμεσα σε δυο πατρίδες

Tα πρώτα εκείνα χρόνια, έφτασαν με μια βαλίτσα, τ’
όνομά τους, και μια πεισματάρικη ελπίδα.

Πάτησαν στο λιμάνι μιας χώρας που μύριζε αρμύρα, σκόνη και ελπίδα. Δούλεψαν όπου τους έβγαζε το μεροκάματο: στο εργοστάσιο, στις φάρμες, στον σιδηρόδρομο, στις κουζίνες. Έμαθαν καινούργιους δρόμους, καινούργιες λέξεις και νέους τρόπους να τα βγάζουν πέρα. Μα κάθε βράδυ, κάπου ανάμεσα στην κούραση και στον ύπνο, το χωριό γύριζε πάλι κοντά τους.

Τα γράμματα ταξίδευαν πέρα από τις θάλασσες, διπλωμένα με λαχτάρα και λίγη σκόνη από την πατρίδα. Τα παιδιά μεγάλωναν, μισά μέσα στις παλιές ιστορίες και μισά στην καινούργια τους πατρίδα. Μα η καρδιά και η ματιά έμεναν πάντα στραμμένες στις πλαγιές της Τσούκας, του Ελατιά και της Ασφάκας.

Κι από εκείνα τα χρόνια, τα ποτισμένα με ιδρώτα,
γέλιο και πείσμα, άνθισαν οι αναμνήσεις.

Να τες τώρα, μαζεμένες σαν λουλούδια από δυο μακρινά χωράφια.

From Sicily to Caulfield

 

This book tells the story of how seven life-size bronze figures came to live in the most popular park in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield. As nothing substantial has so far been written about the installation, the many locals who enjoy the park have no idea about the origin of these bronze figures. Nor has the art world taken note of this major public sculpture.

To this day there is not a foundry in Australia capable of casting a life-size bronze figure in a single molten bronze pour. But a determined sculptor had the half-mad idea of building his own infrastructure, capable of handling moulds weighing up to 3 tons, to create these figures. The book is also a memoir of the ten-year-old boy who migrated from Sicily to Melbourne.

Barista on an Island

 

Australia’s Barista Memoir

WHEN A TEACHER SEES YOUR POTENTIAL, IT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

15 years in hospitality taught me the trade, but it took a pandemic and an island resort to help me find my voice.

From the biggest fast-food chain to the world’s biggest hotel group, I’ve navigated this industry while managing social anxiety.

Now, I’m launching the hospitality memoir I wanted to read at 20 years old when I had anxiety as young Aussie learning new skills and the industry with my TAFE NSW teacher at the training restaurant.

Join me as I move beyond the classroom, from behind the espresso machine and the sequence of service to sharing a story that is finally my own.

Northbound

 

An Inherited Silence Story

While the world fell apart in a single morning, some families were already broken.

When his father is unable to choose his son over the bottle, young Ashley Walker sets out across a shattered Australia searching for his mother and younger sister. Determined to continue the journey alone, every step north brings new dangers, old wounds and impossible choices.

To reach the family he’s desperate to find, Ashley must confront grief, betrayal and the loss of the life he once knew, all while navigating a harsh and unforgiving landscape where survival is never guaranteed and every survivor has the potential to become either an ally or a threat.

Northbound is a gripping Australian post-apocalyptic novel about resilience, family, the invisible things we inherit, the trauma we can’t outrun, and the fragile hope that the things that shape us don’t have to define us.

About the Author

 

J.P. CARMODY WAS BORN and raised in South Australia, where his love of storytelling began with a fascination for Australian history, landscapes, and the resilience of ordinary people.

Northbound is his debut novel and the first book in the Inherited Silence Stories series.
