"The ark of God had been holed up in Abinadab's house for many years. But when King David arranged for thousands of people to celebrate seeing it moved back to the centre of national life, a man integral to the procession suddenly died and the great parade stopped. What did it signify? Listen to Asaph, a key musician at the time, relate what David did next. Using those sections of Scripture and background reading which give details about this period in history, the author creatively gives Asaph a voice whilst staying true to the intent of the text. Enjoy listening to him tell his story. *See pdf attached for a photograph of an original pair or cymbals discovered near Jerusalem and of the kind Asaph may have used.

Drawing on key biblical narratives from David’s dramatic life, Fighter Fugitive King draws out God’s grace in David’s life as he went through a series of trials, and how it can help men currently serving as leaders in some capacity to better consider Christ and his kingdom. Applicable to the workplace and Christian ministry today, existing leaders, men with leadership potential, and those mentoring them, will find it an inspiring and practical read that points to another King, one greater than David.
Commendations:
“Clear, theological, challenging and hugely practical. I would recommend this as a disciple making tool for older men to disciple a younger generation.”
Guy Miller, Leader of Commission Network of Churches, U.K.
“There are many good Bible teachers around. There are also plenty of people who can give wisdom about leadership. What is much more rare is finding somebody who can genuinely unlock the Bible and apply it spiritually and practically to Christian leadership today...my only criticism of this book is that Fraser didn’t write it 30 years ago – my investment into younger leaders would’ve been so much stronger if he had!”
Rev. Nigel James, pastor in the Elim Pentecostal Church Movement, based in Cardiff, Wales, U.K. and working in the USA with the Awakening Foundation and around the world in various mission partnerships."

There is some confusion about the Greek words logos and rhema & what they mean & how they are used in the New Testament. This short book examines the biblical meanings of both words. References are below.
By reading this book you will:
1. Better understand the differences between the two words.
2. Consider numerous examples of logos and rhema being used in the NT.
3. Appreciate the importance of context when it comes to the meaning of words.
4. Distinguish between illumination & receiving a revelation.
5. Consider some other images that may better serve to explain the amazing ways that God speaks to people.

Summary: Our journeys are unique, and as we get older we should be better able to help shape the following generations using our gifts and experience. Yet many would-be mentors aren't so sure about how to go about this. Past failures, pride, insecurity, lack of confidence and opportunity in a fragmented Western culture that prizes individualism have helped create seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Reliance on programs and the professionalization of ministry have tended to hinder more natural connections between the generations; systems and organizational expertise may have grown, but often at the expense of personal discipleship.
By reading this you will:
1. Gain a better understanding of the history of mentoring, and its biblical basis.
2. Better appreciate typical hindrances to effective mentoring.
3. Consider biblical characters who mentored others, and how they point us to Christ.
4. Gain clarity regarding your own unique skills, interests and knowledge.
5. Understand the components essential to a solid mentoring relationship.
6. Recognize how you can start to invest practically in young adults, and put yourself at God's disposal to help them."

Summary: What is there to learn from a lame man invited to dinner by David, the greatest king of that era? Listen to 'Mephibosheth' share his experience a year after some royal officials arrived one day at his remote village. Based on 2nd Samuel chapter 9 of the Bible, this short monologue will help you see the narrative from a new angle but not miss the point of the story."
