Essential Reading

Healthy ministry starts with getting the fundamentals right. These five great books help us see how the gospel mission shapes our ministry.

What am I doing?

By the Spirit-backed power of the Word, God is making disciples of the Lord Jesus, who make disciples. The Trellis & The Vine helps us see our part in this mission.

02

How do I do it?

Wisdom in Leadership won’t make Christian leadership easy. But it will make it easier.

Teaching the bible

Saving Eutychus offers fresh, honest, faithful, and practical insights into preaching the whole word of God, Sunday by Sunday, without being dull.

Teachers of the bible

Perspective, the journal, started out in the early 90’s as a newsletter circulating between six or eight friends, designed to share resources for bible teaching.

About Perspective


History

The journal grew to 300+ subscribers scattered around Australia and the world. But the people who made Perspective the journal happen, were also all in demanding ministry roles, and meeting the deadlines became harder and harder.

In 2006, Perspective became a simple resource archive.

The old Perspective resources are maintained here – many of them are still exceptionally helpful! – alongside some newer content.
