When 10-year-old James Pittar started having trouble seeing at night he could never have predicted that within a decade, his vision would be all but gone. For a kid that dreamed of representing his country, it was a hard blow. And for most people, it would have spelled the end of that dream. But not for James.Just a few months shy of his thirtieth birthday, James did what no blind person has ever done before – he swam the English Channel. It signalled a shift in his mindset – from that point onwards, he would never think of himself as the underdog. He would learn that disability is only a barrier if you let it be.James is incredibly generous in sharing his experiences and emotions, and it’s hard not to be drawn in as he takes us on a personal journey through his childhood, the loss of vision in his teens, the decision not to let it define him, and his continual dedication to growth and self-improvement throughout his life.Blind Vision is a fascinating account of a unique and inspiring career in open-water swimming. But more than that, it is a story for anyone that’s ever been told they can’t. James Pittar is living proof that no matter what the odds, with dedication, passion, and the right people around you, you can.

John's Gospel and the Formula behind the Myth of Jesus is about a set of ideas that largely dictated the form and content of John's Gospel, and profoundly influenced the three Synoptic Gospels. Far from the simple narrative it seems to be, John's Gospel is a highly complex work geared to the depiction of Jesus as a type of cosmic figure. To this end its author draws on astrology, the annual cycle of Jewish festivals, symbolism taken from the Qabalah, and a section of Genesis. The book examines clues that Qabalah and Hellenestic astrology were already in existence at the time of writing of Genesis. John's Gospel and the Formula behind the Myth of Jesus also looks at evidence that the true nature of John's Gospel has been known for some time.
Freewill is seen by some as a human being's greatest asset. People make choices from the top-level government to business leaders and right down to liberated teens and even toddlers. The power to choose can turn a person's or nation's destiny. At the macro-level the individual has little chance of altering a course of events as power is vested in a higher authority. Under an orderly system, people have no choice but to accept all non-controllable factors. It's been like this since the beginning of time and the human race has thrived.The Biblical view places a very different slant on self-will. It's contradicts the worldly norm. At the micro-level, Christians need to meet their secular obligations which can be quite stressful. However, the priority is in the perpetuity where God holds all the keys. There are obligations attached but we hardly stress over them in the slightest. If so, there is a great deal that has been missed somewhere along the line. This book seeks to explore some of those vital gaps. However, the couvert treasures can only be understood and received by unveiled hearts'.

War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods and some men; some slaves and others free –Heraclitus of Ephesus. One hundred years have passed since Captain Stanley Savige, an Anzac, signed up for a hell-raising, secret military mission in January 1918; one he was not expected to survive. Sailing up the palm fringed Tigris River with Dunsterforce to the exotic lands of Scheherazade and whirling dervishes, he never imagined that within a few months he and his men would stare death in the face during one of the most extraordinary episodes of Australian military history. Against immense odds in the mountain wilderness of northern Persia, Captain Savige rescued sixty to eighty thousand Assyrian refugees from genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. But why was he there and who are the Assyrians? Untold until now, this remarkable odyssey speaks to the mystery of human suffering, courage and sacrifice. And it reveals our debt of honour to Captain Savige and his marvellous legacy of hope and compassion. This book is a wonderful tribute to an incredible Australian, who displayed kindness and compassion to a community in crisis. One hundred years have passed and finally this significant humanitarian story is receiving the recognition it deserves. Sarah Lindenmayer is to be commended for bringing this important story to life - The Savige Family Officially supported by Legacy Melbourne, authorised by the Savige Family and endorsed by the Australian Assyrian Community.
