NEW & RECENT TITLES
River Publishing emerged five years ago as a natural outworking of many years spent working to support authors and empower ministries. River seeks to publish books that give a voice to those pioneering culture change in the church, and to those who are empowering others to become all they are made to be. These common threads tie together everything we do. WHY RIVER? The river is a common picture of renewal, of refreshment, of life bubbling up, of change and movement...

RECKLESS DEVOTION offers readers an opportunity to journey deeper into the heart of God daily, accompanied by Rolland and Heidi Baker’s insights, which stem from a deep intimacy with and dependence upon Jesus.
Rolland & Heidi Baker PB 9 x 6 inches 384pp / £9.99 ISBN 9781908393418
This book is filled with profound, inspiring truths that affirm our identity as beloved children of God and encourage us to go deeper with Him: trusting Him more radically, taking more risks in faith, and living life to the full. Every seventh day a “Come Closer” entry summarises the week’s thoughts and helps readers to engage with the truths they have learned, applying them to their own lives.
ROLLAND & HEIDI BAKER have been missionaries for 30 years and founded Iris Global in 1980. Since establishing Iris, Rolland and Heidi have witnessed an outpouring of God’s power in a revival that has spread across Mozambique into neighbouring nations, and have planted thousands of churches. They run several bases across the nation and also run a Missions training school in Pemba.
STEPPING INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE “Mark’s message deserves to be heard. I defy you to read this book without shaking your head in amazement, without muttering ‘Wow!’, without hatching your own plans to step into the impossible wherever you live.” PETE GREIG, 24-7 Pray & Alpha International “Wow! Buckle up and strap yourself in for an adventure ride filled with the highs and lows of a life surrendered to Jesus.” DANIELLE STRICKLAND, Speaker & Author Mark Marx PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 176pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393050
“The beautiful and powerful story of how Healing on the Streets came to be, and how you too can partner with the Holy Spirit as He broods over your city, your town, your neighbourhood.” KATHRYN SCOTT, Worship Leader/Songwriter
MARX MARX is the Founder and Leader of Healing on the Streets, known as HOTS, which was launched out of Causeway Coast Vineyard church in Coleraine in Easter 2005. Mark’s ministry recently featured in the film “Holy Ghost” by Darren Wilson.

KISS OF THE FATHER Julian Adams inspires us to develop a deep, personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. He contends that at a fundamental level, many Christians are confused about the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Sometimes we focus on His power and forget He’s a person. Some believers have misunderstood the scriptures regarding conviction of sin. Others are wary of the supernatural for fear of falling into deception. Julian Adams PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 128pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393487
Julian shows that the Holy Spirit’s primary role in the believer’s life is to assure us of our identity in Christ, which is essential if we are to grasp our destiny in life. In addition, each of us should and can have a joy-filled life in the Spirit.
JULIAN ADAMS is known for his seasoned prophetic ministry, accompanied by a strong teaching gift. He is married to Katia and they frequently travel and minister together. Julian founded the FREQUENTSEE TRUST to serve and equip churches by helping to establish a revival culture.
FIGHTING SLAVERY - FAITH IN ACTION A unique book with contributions from 22 authors, each of whom are contributing to the fight against modern slavery. Each has one thing in common: they are motivated to do what they do because of their faith in God.
Nick Kinsella & Peter Stanley PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 256pp / ÂŁ9.99 ISBN 9781908393456
These 22 modern day slavery fighters tell their stories, from the cutting edge of combatting human trafficking. They explain how putting our faith and principles into action can bring about change and save lives. They also inspire readers to act, probably in very different ways, but no less valuable. Like Wilberforce 200 years ago, God continues to raise up people like him, to fight modern slavery with modern tools and methods.
NICK KINSELLA is a former senior police officer and founded the UK Human Trafficking Centre. He is a current board member of the UN Global Trust for Victims of Human Trafficking. PETER STANLEY is the former strategy director of Stop The Traffik and a widely respected consultant to many groups combatting modern slavery.

All you need to do is decide to step up and take your place.
Tamsin Evans PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 208pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393463
“A rousing wake-up call to young people to live a life of faith and adventure. Tamsin tells her story with honesty and vulnerability, drawing on God’s word to encourage every reader to see how they can play a part in bringing God’s Kingdom to earth.” MIKE PILAVACHI, Soul Survivor

PRISON WITHOUT BARS A boy subjected to systematic abuse sets the stage for a man controlled by alcohol and violence ... A man in an unbreakable emotional prison - until hope breaks in and an incredible journey of restoration begins.
Graham Swann PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 176pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393371
“The story of a radical and enduring transformation. Gritty, no-nonsense and fullon, this needs to be read by as many people as possible. Buy a copy for yourself and another for a mate.

WISDOM WINS! Everyone is looking for “a bit of wisdom” to help them navigate their everyday lives successfully. In fact, the request for wisdom is probably the thing we most frequently ask God, our spiritual leaders, or wise friends for. Stephen Matthew intruduces us to the “way of wisdom” in a wonderfully practical way.
Stephen Matthew PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 160pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393517
“Such a good book and much needed! Stephen skilfully unpacks how to build your life around seven pillars of wisdom that will shape your life and character.” CLIVE URQUHART, Senior Pastor, Kingdom Faith Church, UK.
THE POWER OF ONE If you’re aware in your own heart and life of scars left by division and broken relationships, this book is for you. If you stand and look across the wreckage of shattered promises, fractured homes, divided churches and competing denominations, and dream of something richer, deeper and truer – this book will add fuel to that hopeful fire within.
Tim Roberts PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 160pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393500
Join Tim Roberts on an inspiring journey that echoes heaven’s call for a “united kingdom” with an ear to the ground of new and exciting initiatives amongst God’s people to enjoy the unity of the Spirit. “This is an important read.” DR MAC PIER, CEO, The NYC Leadership Center.
THE FREEDOM OF LIMITATION We’ve all heard of “thinking outside the box” and, in recent years, there has been a lot of talk in the Church about “limitless living” and achieving our “full potential”. But what if we’re not supposed to think “outside the box”? What if the idea of life without limits is a myth? – one that will trap us and leave us unfulfilled, confused and frustrated?
Dr John Andrews PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 192pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393470
Dr John Andrews contends that we each have an individual “box” of purpose, tailor-made for us by God, that we are meant to live within – not break out of. In this liberating book, he shows us that true freedom comes from operating within the limits God has specifically created for our lives. And that having limits does not mean we are limited. RETURN OF THE MUSICAL PROPHET 1 Samuel 10:5 paints a vivid picture of a band of prophetmusicians playing their instruments and prophesying whilst walking boldly across enemy territory. In this current season, similar bands of prophetic musicians are being commissioned by God to carry His presence and His word into many similarly, unlikely places. SEAN FEUCHT writes in his foreword,
Steve Abley PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 120pp / £7.99 ISBN 9781908393449
“This is not a NEW thing in history or some genius concept man has come up with. It is an old truth that God is reawakening and reviving in His Church in this hour … a return to ancient paths … the musical prophets are rising again!”

SPEAKERS OF LIFE This book is a practical guide to becoming a Speaker of Life. Each of us has the potential to move in the prophetic and cultivate a highly developed sensitivity to God’s voice. Many Christians are hearing God speak already, but need to learn how to tune in. This practical book will teach you how you can:
Mark Birch-Machin PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 176pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393432
- Tune into God - Receive revelation - Live a prophetic lifestyle - Go prophetic treasure hunting - Interpret dreams - Nurture the prophetic in your own life and the Church - Take the prophetic beyond the walls of the Church and into your everyday life ROC YOUR WORLD In this book, author Debra Green shares insights gained from 20 years’ experience of community transformation and helps us to see that it is possible to make a difference – regardless of how unqualified we may feel or underresourced we may be. This book isn’t just full of good ideas – they actually work and have been proven by groups of believers up and down our nation. These principles can transform communities – for good!
Debra Green OBE PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 184pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393401
“Sometimes change needs a helping hand … and that is exactly what ROC is doing by pulling together all sectors of the community for the benefit of the community. ROC is growing and it’s heading your way.” MIDGE URE OBE, Ultravox and Co-Founder BAND AID and LIVE AID.
WHEN SPIRIT AND WORD COLLIDE Jarrod Cooper explores the 1947 prophecy about revival attributed to Smith Wigglesworth and examines what it means for today’s Church. A new wave of extraordinary Spirit and Word churches are emerging. In this book he looks at the qualities that will set them apart and position them at the centre of a great move of God that will sweep our nation. “A timely, highly valuable book addressing one of the most important issues facing the Church today.” STUART BELL, Alive Church, Ground Level Network Jarrod Cooper PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 144pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393524
“An insightful and timely message for the Church. A must read.” MARK STEVENS, LIFE Church
PROMISE OF THE PRESENCE The Promise of the Presence inspires with a compelling vision of the effects of pure, unadulterated worship – worship with such abandon and passion that God is able to pour out on us the abundance of his presence. In that presence, so tangible and heavy, we encounter heaven, the love of God, and an outpouring of his power.
Alun Leppitt PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 214pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393494
“Alun’s book provides insights into the power of worship and praise to usher in the presence of God for prophecy, healing and miracles … as a body of God’s people, our worship has the ability to shift the spiritual atmosphere, resulting in the release of captives, the healing of the sick, the release of miraculous provision, and the manifestation of His presence … I highly recommend this book.” DR RANDY CLARK, Overseer of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening
COMIN G S O O N
AWAKENING The comedian Eddie Izzard described his incredulity at the gap between Jesus and the 20th century Western Church when he said, “Jesus was full of radical cool ideas, but now we’ve got mumbling in cold buildings.”
Richard Pennystan PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 192pp / £8.99 ISBN 9781908393531
Nigel di Castiglione PB 8.5 x 5.5 inches 144pp / £7.99 ISBN 9781908393548
The fact is, many people have had a real encounter with the Holy Spirit and want to put aside anything that smacks of hollow religion. But many still don’t understand the subtle traps of dead religion and there has been little teaching to help our brains to catch up with what our hearts already know. In this book, Richard Pennystan provides a helpful roadmap to help us avoid a lifeless relationship with God and fully embrace the abundant life He offers through Jesus.
CREATING A HEALING ENVIRONMENT “A timely book. All over the world God is moving powerfully and a major part of that is seen in an increase in healing. It is easy to think that all the wonderful stories of healing are only to be seen in other countries, and that we are unlikely to see miracles in our patch of God’s kingdom. But if we take seriously what Jesus tells us in Mark 16:17-18: ‘… they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well’, then we need to look again at our understanding. Nigel has written candidly about his own journey from a lack of expectation to seeing people supernaturally and wonderfully healed. This book is an excellent way, personally or in groups, to look again at Scripture and to hear some wonderful stories of healing.” SHEILA M. ANTHONY, VICAR OF BLUNTISHAM
