New TitlesJanuary - June 2018

Welcome to the Authentic Media catalogue!

We are really excited to have some great new titles to present

to you this year!

My Country Wept is an exceptional biography tracing one

man’s journey through the horrors of the Burundian civil war. 25

years after the outbreak of war, this is a timely reminder of what

the power of forgiveness and God’s love can achieve even in

the darkest of situations.

The Power of a Promise helps us to understand God’s plans

and purposes a little better, and encourages us to hold on to

the promises God gives us, especially through the hard times.

The updated and expanded Evidence that Demands a Verdict

is the definitive go to resource to help us answer those hard

questions that people ask about Christianity.

Bibleforce is a major new Bible that aims to reach children age

8-12 in a contemporary and relevant way. Using the idea of

comic book heroes, it helps engage kids with the true heroes

of the Bible.

And finally we have the All Saints film which looks at the real

story of how a struggling church was transformed when it em-

braced a group of Burmese refugees. This is an inspiring story

of how the church should look to welcome all God’s children,

and is a timely and relevant story for today.

We hope that you enjoy looking through our new titles and

that you will find titles that will both encourage and inspire your

customers. As the Authentic Media team, we want to say a

huge thank you for the privilege of partnering with you in the

mission to help spread the gospel.

Every blessing in His name

My Country WeptOne Man’s Incredible Story of Faith, Hope and Forgiveness in the Burundian Civil WarJessica KomanapalliPB: 9781780784649 £9.99

One man’s amazing story of how God protected and provided for him in the midst of the Burundian civil war and brought him to a place of grace, forgiveness and restoration.

Theodore Mbazumutima was forced to flee from his native Burundi when tensions be-tween Hutus and Tutsis increased after the death of Hutu President Ndadaye. His dan-gerous and incredible journey fleeing civil war is told in this page-turning, gripping ac-count of God’s miraculous intervention, protection and guidance. Escaping murderous mobs, then getting away from a refugee camp, being granted access to a country where God would provide a place to study Theology, to Theo’s return to help his own people, this is a truly stunning account of the provision of God, and of grace and forgiveness.

Theo is now Director of Rema Ministries, which has established itself as a peace-building organisation committed to the rights of people in forced displacement situations, particu-larly refugees, the internally displaced and returnees.

The Power of a PromiseNurturing the Seeds of God’s Promises through the Seasons of LifeJen BakerPB: 9781780789866 £9.99

God loves to sow promises in our hearts, but they very rarely come to fruition immedi-ately. Too often the storms of life can rob the hope we have and we can let go of these promises. But what if these dark times were all part of the journey to fulfilled promises - would that give us hope to persevere?

Through personal experience Jen Baker has learned over the years that God works in seasons, and the more that we can understand our current season, the greater impact it can have on future victories. As Jen has seen, too many people over the years give up on a promise, or abort that promise, simply because they did not understand their season. So, using a seed as a metaphor for the journey, Jen shares six key stages a promise undergoes toward fulfilled purpose.

Weaving together biblical reflections and her own experiences, readers are inspired to view their lives through the lens of promise and see how to live fully in the calling God has uniquely designed for each of us.

Using compelling stories from his own experience, Nick shares the heart of his message, the motivation behind all he does, and something that he believes the world needs now more than ever before: A faith in Jesus Christ that moves people to act and make the world a better place.

All Saints DVD: 5060424955817 £12.99

The inspiring true story of how a group of refugees from Burma brought life and purpose to a struggling church.

After trading in his corporate sales career to become a pastor, Michael’s first assignment is All Saints, a quaint country church with a dozen members. It comes with a catch: he has to close the church doors for good and sell the prime piece of land on which it sits. But when the church hesitantly begins welcoming Karen refugees from Burma, Michael feels called to an improbable new mission. Toiling alongside the Karen people, the congregation attempts to turn their fertile land into a working farm to pay the church’s bills and feed its newest people. Michael must choose between completing what he was assigned to do or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community.
