From the Pits to the Pinnacles

The true story of a boy’s less commonly travelled trek, through hardship and horrors, to a culminating fulfilment

Born in Adelaide in 1948, Jim began what was to become a journey of horrors, of character building, soul wearying, inescapable experiences.

By the time he was 15 he had lived at ten different addresses and started over at seven different schools. At age 15, he had lived enough torment and brutality, from his father, leaving behind, his father and his unfortunate oldest, now adult, brother. Jim still had much learning to do, through what was to be a very differently challenging, but in the end, rewarding and wonderfully satisfying culmination. Walk this amazing journey with Jim and learn how your own road, yet to be travelled, need not be mapped, by the road travelled, so far.

Behind the Tears

Understanding, surviving & growing from suffering

Behind the Tears has been shortlisted for the 2023 SparkLit Australian Christian Book of the Year!

In Behind the Tears, Dr Bruce Robinson discusses the different types of suffering that people experience today, how to understand why God allows it, and, most importantly, how to survive it. He also provides advice for the family members, friends, and for churches when someone in their midst is suffering–i.e. ‘how to help, not hurt.’ Finally, he talks about how anyone can grow from suffering into a warmer, brighter future.

Some of the key issues discussed are:

  • How common suffering is
  • Why God allows it
  • How to grow from suffering
  • Practical tips for those who suffer
  • Practical tips for those who care for sufferers
  • Practical tips for friends and churches
  • Grief
  • Cancer, mental illness, chronic diseases, and pain
  • Conflict, anger, disappointment, and bitterness
  • How to grow from suffering and turn it into service of others

See you in Heaven

Seek and ye shall find… 40 days in search of Jesus

June 20
A crisp winter’s day
A Harley on the ground
No heartbeat
No sign of life
39 seconds
The kindness of a stranger
Ambulance on the way

Andrew awoke in a frantic Emergency room.
A voice exclaimed, ‘What happened, what happened?’
The paramedic responded, ‘I don’t know, I can’t explain it. The heart just started!’
Andrews was thinking, what do I wish I had told my kids? My friends?
He prayed, ‘Lord, give me the chance to tell my kids why I believe what I believe.’

This is Andrew.
This is his story.
