"Amy Hill, sounds more like a place doesn't it, than a person's name." "Hah, yeah! What will I put in for your address?" "I don't have one." "Where do you get your mail?" "I don't get mail." Homeless and living on the streets of Fremantle, Amy has no purpose in life. Until, by strange circumstances, she becomes the custodian of a boisterous Dalmatian, Domino. Just as she is learning to cope with a dog, Gerald, a former nodding acquaintance and now recently released from the psychiatric institution of Edgewater, enters to further complicate her life. In an attempt to help Gerald with his artistic endeavours - he having taken a short course in sketching and painting at Edgewater - Amy finds herself gaining unexpected and unwanted attention as an artist herself. This is the story of the ups and downs in the life of Amy Hill. The Ballad, in fact, of Amy Hill.

Forgiveness is the ultimate weapon against the parasite of abuse: 99 Reasons to Forgive aims to articulate and harness this latent power.

Guy Ritchie once said that Geoff Thompson is 'a spiritual trouble maker' because he has taken his practice outside the safety of theology, and tested it in the practical crucible of the competitive world. This is a rare book for the spiritual pragmatist.

Geoff Thompson addresses multiple questions concerning Christian doctrine in an engaging narrative, beginning with an in-depth discussion of the origins of doctrine in the various catechetical, polemical and apologetic pressures that the church encountered as it sought to articulate and teach its confession of faith in Jesus Christ. In providing an overview of some of the classic and historically influential doctrinal projects, Thompson employs ten case studies that illustrate the overlapping influences of tradition and contexts-both ecclesial and cultural-on doctrinal discourse. Thompson takes the reader from those historical and paradigmatic case studies into some of the great contemporary debates about doctrine, including those which have been shaped by the critique of doctrine associated with the European Enlightenment as well as the challenges and contributions of theologians of the majority world. He pays particular attention to the influence that these diverse cultural, ecclesial, and academic contexts have had upon the shape and content of particular doctrines. This leads into an engagement with George Lindbeck's seminal The Nature of Doctrine, as well as the more recent proposals of Kevin Vanhoozer and Christine Helmer. This guide concludes by developing the idea of a Christian social imaginary as the framework for holding together doctrine, practice, truth, diversity, and context.

Notes From A Factory Floor is the long-awaited sequel to Geoff Thompson's first memoir, Watch My Back, a biographical, blow-by-blow account of how he took myself from clinical depression in quiet suburbia, to the heady and violent world of nightclub bouncing, and on to BAFTA-award winning success.
