Becoming a Citizen of the Kingdom

 Terra Nova Publications

"It is as we study the scriptures and as we let the Holy Spirit speak to us through the teaching of the Bible - rather than reading into it what we want - that we get to the core of compassionate holiness which marked out Jesus' life and message. Jesus came to inaugurate in Kingdom which will transform the world - and living in the Kingdom involves our seeking to live out the same powerful mix of power and action, of contemplation and service, as did Jesus in his earthly life..."

"A fresh and very readable style which can sometimes mask the depths of the insights Patrick offers..." Don Brewin - UK Director of SOMA


May Christians are unclear about what is meant by "the Kingdom of God". Jesus spoke a great deal about the Kingdom, and he demonstrated Kingdom living and action in many ways.

The author explains this in a way that is clear, lively and understandable.

Becoming a Spiritual Leader

April 2005
 Terra Nova Publications

What can we learn from Peter's vocation, life, failures and restoration?

Following on from his book - Becoming Fully Human - Patrick Whitworth introduces us to the Apostle Peter and the difficult path he had to follow as the churches first leader - thrust into leadership by the mission of Christ to "feed my lambs".

 As a leader and minister it is unlikely that Peter would have got through a selection conference for any of the established churches, yet he lead that church to what it could be today. Peter was called - was chosen - was selected to grow in the faith into which he was commissioned with the other disciples.
This book takes us through that long and sometimes painful affirmation, the difficulties and the disasters, the challenges and the penance - the end result being an example of how we should all as ministers, whether ordained or baptised, live our Christian lives.
Scripturally based and a very interesting read.

 Becoming Fully Human

October 2003
Terra Nova Publications

Becoming Fully Human provides a new Christian apologetic for our time.

The author considers the condition of humanity: its brokenness and pain, and the human struggle with evil in its many forms; and he explains the meaning of transformation as taught by St. Paul and lived out by countless Christian believers.
A brilliant, very readable Christian apologetic for today. Paul's teaching on the transformation that Christ brings about in a Christian.


"...a readable, enjoyable yet serious description of human beings before Almighty God because, let's be clear about it, if this life is all, then all is futile and nothing is of value - nothing whatsoever." Rev. George Carey
 Qualities of Enduring Love
Edited by Patrick Whitworth
October 2005
 Terra Nova Publications

What can we learn from Peter's vocation, life, failures and restoration?

This book looks at an issue which is crucial to us all: how can relationships endure, despite the cultural pressures, and the pressures from within ourselves, that we face.
The most important promise we have to fulfil are those made to our own family members; fulfilling them is a work of a lifetime and possibly our most important lifetimes's work.
   Some people feel that it is more honest not to make a long-term commitment, because they do not want to make a commitment which they feel that they are not going to be able to keep and they do not want to add hypocrisy to their other sins.
But intimacy, the building of a relationship, requires vulnerability, and vunerability requires trust, and trust requires commitment. When we know that the other person will not walk out on us - that they will go on loving us; that they will stay with us through the highs and lows that are part of any relationship - then we begin to be prepared to trust them...

 Terra Nova Publications

Men and Women from the Gospel come face to face with the Son of God.
When people meet with Jesus, they are never the same again...

'Meetings with Jesus is the story of lives that were touched by the presence of Jesus. Tracing through the life of Christ from His presentation in the Temple to His resurrection appearances, this book illustrates the transforming power and grace of Jesus in the lives of individuals in very different settings.' Nicky Gumbel


Jesus' love and life-changing power are the same today. As we come to him, we can allow him to touch our lives, too.
