Contra dancing is popular in Australia with regular dances being run in many cities and at the folk and dance festivals around the country. The music is lively and the bands are enthusiastic, while the dancers keep coming back for more. There are favourite dances, such as Flirtation Reel and Bucksaw Reel, that you would be familiar with, along with many others from the American repertoire. Now we return the favour and present an Australian view of Contra dances. These 50+ dances are all written by Australians and are danced here. Most of our dance composers don't write Contras exclusively, but also cross between English, Scottish, Irish, and Australian styles. Some of this is reflected in the dances, with moves borrowed from other genres.

You'll find dances for four couples, triple-minor groupings, and in circles and diamonds. They all still have a Contra feel to them. Please enjoy our dances.

This collection was drawn almost at random from hundreds of poems written over several decades. Established poets and academics contend that poems should be edited and re-crafted before they get anywhere near the printed page. This hasn't been the case in Myriad. Every poem appears here as it was written. No attempt has been made to interfere with the flow of the pen. Myriad does not pretend to adhere to conventions of rules or form. It is was it is; an outpouring of thoughts as they were born. Hence, poems from the heart.

The Kingdom Way shows how the Kingdom of God can influence our lives, churches, and cities for Christ. It relies on Scripture to develop a clear and compelling vision of the Kingdom of God that is simple, and yet provides a powerful and coherent model for many areas of life and ministry. The first chapter lays out a clear, precise, and biblical definition of the Kingdom of God as it exists today. The following chapters develop practical applications by carefully examining the Kingdom of God, and seeing how various components of it can be applied in our lives, churches, and cities. Some of the topics covered include the centrality of the Word of God, the importance of confession in our walk with God, abiding in Christ for empowerment from Him, unity in the church, and the need for prayer to bring the power of God in all these areas. The book builds toward the conclusion that the Kingdom of God is meant to be a visible, transformative force within cities, and goes on to paint a clear picture of what that looks like. Using historic and recent examples of cities that have undergone radical transformation through the Gospel, the book makes the case that transformation of our cities is something we must all work toward, and can actually see happen in our time. Far from theoretical, however, the book is immensely practical. Its groundbreaking, thoughtful approach to application will clarify your understanding of the Kingdom, and provide guidance and encouragement as you join with Jesus in working for the transformation of your city. It should be of interest to all Christians devoted to growth and ministry, and will be of particular interest to pastors, elders, and mature and maturing believers.

This book will put a smile on your face if you grew up in a farm in the 1930s to 1960s. You will follow my ancestors as they lose the family farm during the Great Depression. You will watch them go from failure to success on many levels. I share my parents struggles as they moved away from my grandpas established 320-acre farm to start-up on a new 80-acre farm of their own. One section of the book shares five boys growing up in rural Southwest Iowa. Early on, I share some of my insecurities related to being around a controlling father and going to a small-town school in Fontanelle, Iowa. I share about being way out of my league in college. My parents knew nothing of higher education. In fact, I was being rebellious in just insisting on trying college. I skipped freshman orientation at UNI out of ignorance of what college life involved. I was drafted into the army one year after college. I knew very little of the politics at the time. I somehow ignored the countrys division over being in Vietnam. In the army, I learned how to obey orders quickly and that I wanted to be a civilian again as soon as possible. Following the war, I experienced many changes in my life. I found out about being committed to my wife, my family, and my newfound faith. I came a long way from my roots that started on that 80-acre family farm.
