      The author challenges the belief that every church problem has a straightforward solution, asserting that congregations must undergo a metaphorical death to foster new life and vitality. He categorizes dying congregations into those that need to close and those that require a cultural transformation. Bush emphasizes the importance of prophetic leadership in navigating this process and highlights spiritual practices that encourage congregations to embrace their mortality. Ultimately, he argues that only through this death can churches experience divine resurrection and renewal.

      Now in its fifth printing, this comprehensive guide to the fishing flies of Ireland critically assesses the trout, salmon and seatrout patterns currently ued by anglers in Ireland. In alphabetical order, it features the traditional Irish flies, plus the tried and tested flies that have been imported by anglers to Ireland: what they look like and the materials used to tie them the loughs and rivers on which they are most frequently used at what time of year and in which conditions to use them and, most importantly, the book discloses which flies the locals, from the River Bann at Coleraine to Lough Currane at Waterville, recommend Connemara Black, Green Peter, Murrough, Kingsmill, Beltra Badger - these are among the better-known Irish flies. But this book also features the more obscure, yet equally effective contenders, such as Mosely's Mayfly, the Ballinderry Black, Purcell's Peter and the Dabbler. The flies you will find here are as varied as the fishing of Ireland itself, from tiny dries, to emergers, to wet mayflies for the big loughs; and hairwings, tubes, mini-tubes and fully-dressed patterns for salmon. Peter O'Reilly, an expert flytyer has produced the flies photographed in this book, and - for added interest - he has included some regional patterns tied by local masters. This book is an invaluable reference work for all anglers in Ireland, whether locals or visitors.

      While worship is the primary purpose of all churches, worship in the small church is distinctive. Whether a house church, a new church plant, a rural church along a country road, or a city church whose neighborhood demographics have shifted, these small faith communities present unique opportunities and challenges for worship leaders. Peter Bush and Christine O'Reilly draw on their passion and experience equipping lay people to plan and lead worship to answer the question, what makes for effective worship

      Focusing on the growth of the Presbyterian Church in Canada from 1885 to 1925, this study highlights its mission to both British settlers and Indigenous peoples, as well as non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants. It examines how the church adapted its ministry to address the needs of expanding rural and urban populations, with particular emphasis on its experiences in the Klondike and Near North. The conclusion posits that today's Presbyterian Church embodies the legacy of this transformative mission vision.
