Ortberg J, Pederson L and Poling J (2000), Giving: Unlocking the Heart of Good Stewardship, Zondervan [ISBN-0-310-22078-5]

"GIVING demonstrates that good stewardship is more than a responsibility - it's an adventure.  As you study the connection between your wallet and your heart, you'll learn how money management is a powerful tool for shaping your character.  You'll discover how giving is as much part of spiritual growth as prayer and Bible study.  And you'll learn about the rewards of cultivating wise financial habits and a generous heart.  Above all, you'll find out how a lifestyle of giving reflects the heart of God, who freely gives his best to you."

Stevens P and Williams D (2001), 1 Corinthians: The Challenges of Life Together, Scripture Union [ISBN 1-85999-521-7]

"Life among Christians can be great.  But let's face it - it can also be exasperating!  The joys of fellowship too often give way to division and debate - arguments over such things as the correct form of worship and the place of charismatic gifts.  In 1 Corinthiand we see Christianity not as it was meant to be, but as it often is.  Yet we also find practical advice for overcoming the challenges of life together"

Tomlin G (2008), The Provocative Church (3rd Edition), SPCK [ISBN 978-0-281-06006-1]

"The Provocative Church offers a liberating understanding of evangelism as a corporate avctivity, in which all the gifts needed to enact a life of the kingdom - to stir people into asking "What does it mean?" - are spread throughout the whole Church".

"Surely people will only be intrigued by the Christian life and community when they see something provocative or attractive.  Then they will want to know what's going on".
