The Gospel according to Matthew is perhaps the most important single document of the New Testament, for in it we have the fullest and most systematic account of the birth, life, teaching, death and resurrection of the founder of Christianity, Jesus the Messiah.

This short course is designed to help people move from a decision to follow Christ to fruitful discipleship.

If the church is to grow and thrive, and not just survive, we need leaders who possess the radical leadership qualities taught by Jesus and the apostles

I was a happy teenager, content with my home, my academic success, my sporting achievements and my friendships. And I stumbled across the greatest friend of all, Jesus Christ. He is the treasure I have come to value above all else. I was not an emotional cripple looking for a crutch. I was not a romantic looking for a cause. I was not at the bottom of the pile hoping for a leg-up. I was not looking for anything in particular. But I found treasure, and that treasure has utterly transformed my life, my goals, my lifestyle ...' Michael Green shares his passion, reflections, convictions and suggestions from a lifetime of church and university missions, not to mention numerous informal encounters.A book to provoke, stimulate and inspire, but above all fire up every Christian for the urgent task of evangelism.

The public are inundated with untruths about Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest figure in human history and the one by whom we date everything. Sometimes these truths emerge from the media and sometimes from specific assaults on Jesus by special interest groups and writers.Michael Green thoughtfully and robustly takes on the most important of these untruths.Was Jesus just a mythical figure who never lived?Were the Gospel accounts of him corrupt and written long after he lived?Can we trust the text of the New Testament?Was Mary Magdalene Jesus's lover?Were the Gnostic Gospels just as good evidence as the four Gospels which Christians read today?Did Jesus really die on the cross?And surely nobody these days believes in the resurrection? After all, hasn't the tomb of Jesus and his family been discovered?These are some of the issues addressed in this book. The author is an ancient historian as well as a New Testament scholar. He is not ashamed to call the misrepresentations about Jesus what they are - lies, lies, lies!

Based on real questions from real people in the real world

In this powerful and timely book, Michael Green explains the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. No other teacher ever claimed to bring God to us, no other teacher dealt radically with the problem of human wickedness, no other teacher broke the final barrier - death, and no other teacher offered to actually live within his followers.

An inspiring, thematic approach to the Book of Acts. Each theme is applied directly to modern church life, and to the relationship between the church and today's world. Themes opened up include church planting, evangelistic preaching, guidance, leadership and effective communication of the gospel in message and life-style.
