This book provides a Biblically-based, seven-month program to turn your son into a solid man of God based on the Seven Pillars of Manhood: 1. Identity in Christ 2. Love 3. Godly Wisdom 4. The Word of God 5. Purity 6. Character 7. Legacy Churches are filled with well-meaning youth pastors and programs that promote Christian values, doctrine, and culture to todays youth. But it is rare to find a program that includes a comprehensive set of pillars that are specifically designed to bring a teenage boy into Christian Manhood. By providing an intentional framework for Christian Manhood that can be worked through by a father/guardian and son over seven months, this book is designed to provide such a program.

Anzacs in the Middle East is a compelling exploration of the experiences of soldiers who fought in the Middle East during World War II. Spurred by a sense of adventure and duty, they set sail to countries of which they knew very little. The book examines the relationships between Australians and their allies and also how they related to the local people: Greeks, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians. Mark Johnston draws on extensive research to provide a new perspective on the famous campaigns at Tobruk and Alamein, as well as significant but less familiar battles at Bardia, Retimo and Damascus. Featuring first-hand accounts and stories from the front line, the book discovers the true nature of the 'larrikin Australian' and is a must-read for anyone interested in Australia's military history. This book is a companion volume to Mark Johnston's previous books, At the Front Line and Fighting the Enemy.

This moving book examines Australian front-line soldiers' reactions to their ordeal in World War II. Based on the letters and diaries of more than 300 soldiers, its focus is the stress they faced and how they coped with it. Johnston challenges the stereotype of the fearless, undisciplined, comradely Australian soldier.
