The Freedom Trap
by Priyan Max Jeganathan

Is our culture’s insistence on complete individual autonomy and limitless choice really what freedom means? Engaging and timely, Max Jeganathan’s The Freedom Trap answers this question with an illuminating journey through history, tracing our evolving perceptions of freedom and the costs incurred along the way. Full of relevant examples from the news, pop culture, and his own family’s story, Max unveils why the promise of endless freedom has resulted in nothing but abounding anxiety and confusion. Ultimately, he points to a better way: where love for God and others leads us to embrace wise constraints and find genuine meaning, connection, and joy.

The End of Men?
by Simon Smart

Balanced, realistic and hopeful — it is refreshing to have a concise book which doesn’t get bogged in an overwhelm of advice for those wanting to be a positive influence on boys. The End of Men? sympathetically surveys the tumultuous landscape that young men are traversing and offers clear, enduring and, dare I say, noble principles for those seeking to help them wisely navigate their complex world."

The End of Men?
by Simon Smart

"This book, “The End of Men?,” is a gem, beginning with Simon‘s own stories of toxic masculinity at the school which he attended. He clearly defines the challenges facing men, ranging from violence to mental health. Importantly, Simon doesn’t just define the problems but identifies potential solutions to these challenges, from the creation of structure, propagation of values, allowance of risk, rites of passage, increased and informed roles for fathers and, beautifully, developing love and vulnerability as men. I love this book."

Achievement Addiction
by Justine Toh

Love it! A devastatingly accurate analysis of Australian society and individuals that hit me personally. Justine's social location also provides an empathetic, well-informed and insightful approach in tackling the meritocratic myth for ALL of us. As she frames so cleverly, 'everyone is kind of Asian now’.

The End Of Thinking?
by Mark Stephens

"Do I think well? I think so! Hang on – not so fast! Mark Stephens, in his interesting and racy little book, gets us to think about thinking, or, to be more specific; to think about the fact that most of us don’t think – not much anyway, as it is too difficult, and too confronting. Instead, we look for threads which will confirm our prejudices, we are led by intuition, not reason. Additionally, we confuse correlation with causation, we overestimate our own competence, we allow experts in one field to bracket-creep their judgements into areas beyond their competence. Does it matter? Well yes, just as conviction needs to be based on reasonable evidence, epistemic humility is preferable towards those whose opinions differ. Is this book worth the trouble of thinking about? I think so!"

The End Of Thinking?
by Mark Stephens

"This clear, humorous and insightful book will help clear up your thinking, or at least help clear up the 'you' in your thinking. Mark writes about the hard questions of contemporary discourse with learning, courage and grace - a wonderful antidote to the vitriol of the culture wars awaits you!"

The Cost Of Compassion
by Tim Costello

The Cost Of Compassion
by Tim Costello


"Costello includes compelling and perspective-building anecdotes … that confront our daily comfortableness. Then he provides various insights from religious, secular and Biblical sources, and the result is not a formula but a helpful framework for wrestling toward a lifestyle of suffering with others."
