Gifts and resources for a Christ-centred Christmas
A light that outshines all others
Even though the sun shines at its brightest at Christmas in Australia, it’s great to celebrate the coming of a greater light into the world.
For older children, teens and young adults, there’s the second in our series of graphic-novel-style books illustrating the unadorned text of the Bible – Light in the Darkness shows you Christmas as you’ve never seen it before. See page 31.
As Christians, we know that the reason for the season is about more than having joyful times of family celebration and a barbecue on the beach. We celebrate the coming of the light of life to put right a world in darkness – Jesus. We give gifts to remember the greatest gift we have been given – forgiveness and new life in Christ. And we rejoice in the goodness of God, who brings us into the new family he is making from every race on earth.
And check out our wonderful collection of evangelistic tracts and booklets. Christmas is an amazing opportunity to share the good news of the gospel with friends and neighbours, and to reach out to the many people who only come to church for a Christmas service.
In the following pages you’ll find a wealth of ideas and resources to help you point people to the real meaning of Christmas. We’re particularly excited about the first offerings from our new venture into publishing books for children that open up the Bible. With spectacular cutting-edge illustration and a careful focus on the words and message of the Bible, we hope you find these new books a delight to read, share and give to your children, grandchildren and godchildren. See page 3.

Introducing...
A
t The Good Book Company we want to encourage even very young children to be more excited about Jesus than anything else this Christmas, and to nag their parents to open up the
Bible with them. After much development, we feel we have found the ideal combination of faithful gospel-centred stories and cutting-edge illustration. We are therefore thrilled to present the first three resources from The Good Book for Children: two new storybooks and a brand new advent calendar. We pray your children will love them and that they will spark a hunger for God’s Word.

$11.99
The world tells single women that what they need most is a guy. The church often seems to suggest that what they most need is a husband. Is it really possible to be a single Christian woman and be satisfied? In this short, warm book, Andrea Trevenna shows that there is a way for our hearts to feel content, no matter what our circumstances.
$11.99
Most women know they compare themselves with others. But why? And does it matter? In this short, engaging book, Sophie de Witt exposes the destructive effects of Compulsive Comparison Syndrome; reveals its true cause; and points to a way of life that offers true, lasting contentment.
$13.99
“Most women regard the idea of singleness with horror, not as a gift to be wanted, and certainly never good. Andrea Trevenna confronts this reality head on, with an honest look at what this says about our hearts. Full of biblical wisdom, this book truly shows how to be single and satisfied.”
“Accessible, jargon-free and dealing with a struggle that women are very prone to, this is a really helpful book for encouraging women to think about how they compare themselves to others, as well as finding the way out of such a comparison-driven life.”
