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.

Table of Eight

A Life in Service to Humanity

Around Every Table of Eight, a Refugee Story Connects Us All.

From the post-war refugee crises to the African droughts of the 1980s, Tableof Eight chronicles Brian’s extraordinary journey at the intersection of faith and global humanitarian aid. Through innovative tripartite partnerships—uniting the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), host governments, and receptive NGOs—Brian played a pivotal role in providing refuge, resources, and hope to displaced populations worldwide.

Drawing from his experiences with the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), an ecumenical organization founded in 1947, Brian sheds light on groundbreaking interfaith outreach efforts, from the Middle East and Hong Kong to the Indian subcontinent. He recounts his contributions to international cooperation, including the establishment of the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response (SCHR), advocacy for landmine bans, and strengthening UN mechanisms for aid delivery.

With unwavering faith in the power of miracles and a commitment to the ethos of the Good Samaritan, Brian reflects on the transformative role of church agencies in saving millions of lives during some of history’s darkest moments. This memoir is not just a testament to his life’s work but a call to action—to see the humanity in others, step into the gap, and make a difference.

This is a story of compassion in action, a legacy of faith through service, and an invitation to believe in the extraordinary.

The Invitation

This book is a collection of words strung together from the Creator.

Poured into my heart from the Spirit that lives within, during morning, dusk or a mundane task.

Written on paper, as a form of praise to the One who holds every day.

From Him flow streams of living water that are needed to satisfy and sustain us for this life under the sun and for every season that comes.

He is the One who holds life abundant, the One who fills and pours out so that we may do the same.

Within each of these words is an invitation, An invitation to accept the sacrifice that He made, An invitation to partake, An invitation to draw close and drink deeply, An invitation to praise, An invitation to journey the ebbs and flows of life hand in hand with Him, An invitation to daily surrender and to live for the glory of another, An invitation to live as an ambassador for something far greater!

I pray these words bring hope, truth and refreshment.

I pray you may sit within them, pray through them, and above all: Let them point you to the person of Jesus, the only one who will ever satisfy the thirst of our souls.

Just A South Sydney Lad

 

The Everyday Adventures Of A Maroubra Boy In 1950s and ’60s Australia

Against the backdrop of the sixties, when British music invaded Sydney streets and TV colonised loungerooms, a Maroubra boy took his Dad’s advice and ‘got on with it’…

Jump aboard the everyday adventures of a Maroubra boy in 1950s and ‘60s Australia where Sunday Mass, getting on the punt and sitting on the hill for the match of the day at the SCG was a holy trifecta.

And amidst a time when floggings by teachers, schools suspiciously burning down, headless chooks running about backyards and boxing gloves were part of a Maroubra childhood … this lad had plenty to get on with.

As he revisits the memories of his youth, Anthony will tell you exactly why he was glad to be a South Sydney lad!

About the Author

Anthony Harkness was born in the same year Princess Elizabeth became Queen (1952) and grew up in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra – a child of the fifties and a teenager through the sixties. His school days moved from slate to sharpened pencils, from knibs and inkwells to fountain pens and finally the ubiquitous Bic biro – the last implement being regarded as the work of the devil by his teachers.

Anthony has been at various times a teacher, a senior school assistant principal, a rugby league coach, and a singer in two rock ‘n’ roll bands. He has degrees in Education, Economics and Theology which makes him well suited to explore the sweet mysteries of life on spreadsheets and/or metaphysical essays.

He has published in academic journals and written for community radio on the Sunshine Coast. He reached the national finals of ‘The Spoken Word’ poetry competition in 2021 with his original poem ‘Wine Wisdom’.

An anthology of poems is presently underway. ‘Just a South Sydney Lad’ is his first novel.
