Djungari is an epic Australian historical romance and family saga that spans war, wilderness, and generations of memory. When Sarah returns to Broken Creek Station in Far North Queensland, she inherits more than her grandfather’s journal. Within its pages lies the story of Ryan Brooks, a young Australian stockman whose life is forever changed by the outbreak of the First World War. From the devastation of Gallipoli and the Somme, to a chance meeting with an English nurse during a London bombing raid, Ryan’s journey becomes one of courage, love, loss, and survival. But this is more than a wartime love story. Set against the vast beauty of the Australian outback, Djungari is also a sweeping story of frontier life, family legacy, and the spiritual power of country. As Sarah uncovers the past, she is drawn into a world shaped by old loyalties, buried grief, and the mystery of the white crocodile—a symbol that binds generations together. Rich in atmosphere and emotion, Djungari will appeal to readers of Australian historical fiction, family sagas, and deeply rooted stories of love, romance and belonging.

Jesus Christ in 57 Bible Dreams is a comprehensive biblical theology of dreams, tracing every identifiable dream in Scripture through a single Christological lens: each dream exists to protect, advance, or authenticate the Messianic lineage. Written by a practitioner-theologian with twelve years of dedicated research, this is the most systematically ambitious evangelical treatment of biblical dreaming available to general Christian readers. It is for serious Bible students who want both doctrinal rigor and devotional fire in a single volume.
