The Practical Discipleship Training Manual

The purpose of this book is to equip you with the true knowledge of being a follower of Jesus Christ. It emphasis on how to live a Christian life as a disciple of Jesus. This discipleship training program is an excellent foundational teaching for every believer. It covers all the essential areas for Christian growth and gives a good understanding of the fundamental principles of spiritual growth and service.

The emphasis is very practical. The course provides plenty of suggestions for discussion and applying the truths taught. It will encourage and inspire you to go deeper into your relationship with Christ and in the practice of your Christian life. This book will be useful for your personal growth, it is also good for small Bible study groups and even better for the entire church. It can lead the whole congregation to be on the same page regarding the fundamental truth of biblical doctrine, since there is much confusion caused by the rise of false and misleading teachings that challenge our faith.

Pastors and those who lead any type of Christian congregation will find this training useful because it covers most of the issues that affect the growth.

The book covers 27 fundamental topics of spiritual growth, stability and spiritual maturity. The contents are centred on the Bible and will establish a strong foundation in your ministry and in your Christian journey. I highly recommend this book to you whether you are a pastor or just believer.

It’s Complicated

 

Why Faith-Inspired Cause Driven Organisations are so complex and what to do about it

Untangling the Maze: Mastering complexity in Faith-Inspired organisations

Faith-Inspired Cause-Driven Organisations (FICDOs) make a profound yet often unnoticed impact. They employ hundreds of thousands and serve millions daily, shaping communities and changing lives.

But all is not well. These organisations may seem straightforward, but their complexity runs deep. Too often, this leads to dysfunction—making work frustrating, draining, and unsustainable. And when an organisation struggles internally, its mission suffers.

How do we create better FICDOs?

The first step is understanding what makes them complex. Next, we must recognise that traditional corporate best practices often don’t work in FICDO contexts. Instead of forcing ill-fitting models, we need fresh approaches—ones that embrace their unique challenges and empower them to thrive in their mission.

Spoken Words

Words have power

Spoken Words is an insightful exploration into the profound impact that the words we speak have on our spiritual and psychological well-being.

This book delves into the significance, consequences, and transformative potential of our spoken words, offering a deep understanding of how they shape our lives and the lives of those around us.

Beginning with the foundational concept of creation through words, as illustrated in the Bible when God said, “Let there be light,” the book establishes the inherent power of speech. This divine act of creation highlights how words can establish order and fulfill divine purposes. The book extends this concept to our daily lives, emphasizing that our words possess the power to shape our realities, influence our emotions, and leave lasting impressions.

Born in a Hindu background, in Mauritius, a developing country in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Rhema began hearing the voice of the Lord at a very young age. She understood this divine presence as a close friend who guided her in prayer, particularly in interceding for others. She came to know the Lord personally at the age of 32, deepening her spiritual journey as she studied the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In 2009, following a divine calling inspired by Genesis 12, Rhema moved to Melbourne, Australia. There, she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry at Harvest Bible College and furthered her studies at Bethel School of Faith and Spiritual Ministry, where she cultivated her prophetic and spiritual gifts.

Her faith journey continued at Upper Room Church in Lara Vic, where she participated in prophetic workshops that deepened her understanding and practice ministry. In 2022, Rhema was commissioned and ordained as a prophetic evangelist by
the Lord God in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Rhema writes in the prophetic as the Lord guides her, with each word divinely inspired and directed by God. In “Spoken Word” she explores the power of words in shaping lives, offering readers a guide to harnessing this power in their daily lives. Whether addressing the significance of naming, the dynamics of blessing and cursing, or the role of worship as a lifestyle, her approach is accessible and deeply insightful.

About The Author

BERNIE O’LEARY HAS had an amazing and awe-inspiring journey, over the last 10 years, running Alpha in Western Australian Prisons.

The Lord specifically led him into this ministry, after a 42 year career as a Civil and Water Engineer, with nothing to do with Prisons in his life! Bernie is the Alpha Prisons Ambassador – Western Australia, with Alpha Australia.

He has seen about 540 prisoners doing Alpha in WA, so far (at 2024), and seen many prisoners coming to the Lord, and being transformed.

This book has also shown the results of some overseas initiatives, in major focuses on spiritual transformation and rehabilitation, rather than only a custodial focus.

These have shown huge reductions in number of prisoners, and recidivism rates.

He has said that this whole journey continues to be an incredible adventure, with huge eternal impacts!
