As we search the scriptures, there are so many references and examples of what God wants to do within his church. However, comparatively, so often little of that seems to be happening. In that situation it is common to rationalise God's promises down to explain or excuse our leveled ineffectiveness. The better course would be, by faith to lift our expectations up to what God's Word declares should be so, to wait upon him for his vision for what he wants us to become and then to continue to wait upon him to discern how he wants us to proceed. This book is about "vision", what it is, how we get it, what place it plays and how to implement it. It is a missing component in many Christians.The author, Dr Stuart Robinson, is the Founding Pastor of Australia's largest Baptist Church. Before that he worked for fourteen years in South Asia wherehe pioneered church planting among Muslims."The Promise Of Vision will help you to be a good listener to God's voice. It will stretch your faith as you seek to follow His vision for you, to do far more than you can now see."Rev. Dr Ian Hawley, Senior Pastor, Swanston St Church Of Christ - Melbourne

Released from Fear through Faith With Habakkuk.In summarizing a wide and sweeping range of global problems confronting our modern world, this book tackles some of the personal challenges these problems present and directs us to a man and his message for answers; a message that will assist us to live victoriously.This book reassures us that we are not the first to face the possibility of oblivion. Millenia ago, in a small far-off land bordering the eastern Mediterranean, a very similiar situation arose. We have a detailed record of one man's struggle with his own mortality in the face of impending genocide that was about to engulf his own nation. His name was Habakkuk.His is an enduring message that can help in our own journey, as we continue Traveling Through Troubled Times.Stuart Robinson brings not only his scholarship to this excellent study, but is clearly informed by his unique experience as someone who has seen the pride and selfishness of the West through the eyes of someone living intimately with some of the world's poorest people.

Christianity faces its greatest challenge yet - the rapid spread of Islam in almost every country. The purpose of this book is to alert leadership, to inform the Church and others, and to inspire God's people to action. It relates what Islam is doing, why this is so, and how God is responding. It shows how God's people may successfully face this challenge with confidence.The author, Stuart Robinson, was formerly the Senior Pastor of Crossway in Melbourne. Before that he worked for 14 years in South Asia where he pioneered church planting among Muslims. He now travels extensively as a speaker at conferences. He is the author of several books including:- Defying Death: Zakaria Botross - Apostle to Islam; The Prayer Of Obedience; The Challenge Of Islam. He graduated from the Baptist Theological College of Queensland, the University of Queensland, the Melbourne College of Divinity and Fuller Theological Seminary. Stuart was born in Brisbane and is married to Margaret. They have three married children.

Mostly only those who have lived within Islamic communities and have studied their primary documents (Quran, Hadith and Sira) can appreciate what is happening as revivalist classic Islam spreads its message and activities around the world.Western Christian religious leaders, preoccupied with domestic issues internal to their own movements, mostly don't understand. Some hope the whole issue will just go away. Others with a more universalist outlook imagine that with minor cultural adjustments, we can all live happily together forever after.So when the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, suggested that aspects of Shariah Law were inevitable for Britain, other religious leaders briefly noted his comments before returning to former preoccupations.In the same country, when British Baptist pastor, David Pawson said Britain would become Islamic unless the church changed, even evangelical leaders berated him. Some Christian leaders disagreed. But Muslim leaders optimistically suggested that it wouldn't happen for 5 to 10 years!Jay Smith, who regularly debates Muslim apologists in the public forum of Hyde Park in London and elsewhere, notes that Christian protestant Theological Colleges are still focused on Reformation controversies of four centuries ago. Although Islam is rapidly gaining traction around the world, not one Christian college which trains the next generation of Christian leaders, is yet, teaching a course on Islamic apologetics.This book is an attempt to help the busy reader to understand what is happening and in general terms, how Christians need to respond. Not to do so could mean that our children, or more certainly our grandchildren, may grow up not in countries which for centuries have been sustained by a Judeo-Christian worldview, but in those increasingly dominated by Islamic ideology.Chapters:1 - The Islamic Challenge2 - The Challenge of Politics3 - The Challenge of Finance4 - The Challenge of Demographics5 - The Challenge of Religion6 - How has this happened?7 - How may we respond?What others are saying:In The Challenge Of Islam, Stuart Robinson issues a clarion call to Christians everywhere to wake up, open their eyes to the gathering storm clouds of a global Islamic resurgence, and determine to make the Great Commission their first priority. To ignore this timely and urgent call is to sow a bitter harvest for future generations, but those who heed it will reap the reward of participating in one of the most phenomenal Gospel harvests the world has ever seen.Rev. Dr Mark Durie, Anglican vicar and author - Melbourne, AustraliaThere are very few people anywhere with the encyclopedic grasp and in-depth understanding of Islam as Stuart Robinson. In this deeply scholarly and very readable volume he informs, teaches, challenges and warns both the West generally, and the Church specifically, of the political, economic, social and religious advance of militant Islam with its aims of world conquest. Here is a clarion call and warning which all concerned for Christian truth and mission must heed and act on.Michael Cassidy, Founder African Enterprise - South AfricaDr. Robinson issues a clarion call to Christians worldwide to interact with present day Islamic expansionist programs. He powerfully concludes with a plea for believers to overcome fear and share a loving witness with Muslim acquaintances.Dr Phil Parshall, SIM Missionary at Large - Philippines
