Invasion

(A C.H.A.O.S. Novel)

by Jon S. Lewis Review by Christopher Markwell (CLC Ipswich Volunteer) Publisher: Nelson ISBN: 9781401685423 Was: £6.99

Being a sci-fi (science fiction) fan, this book appealed to me from the first mention of the word ‘aliens’. This fictional story will grip you and make you want to read on with awe at flying motorcycles, an alien invasion, a conspiracy, plus an underlying plot about God. I would recommend this book for people who are sci-fi fans as a perfect gift.

Was: £9.99

Review by Jane Morin (CLC Finance department) A newly married couple with their whole future stretched out ahead of them. A car crash and everything comes tumbling down. Or does it? Kim’s life is on hold and Krickett’s life is hanging by a thread. But despite Krickett’s memory loss, (she has no memory of Kim or their wedding), she does know how important God is to her. Her faith is strong.

Despite the tough times, the set-backs, she and Krickett hold on to their vows. Day by day they heal from the injuries sustained in the crash and set about building a new life together. When you read this book, you will realise just how unimportant all those little arguments are, that with God in your life and commitment to your marriage in your heart, you can overcome anything.

If Kim and Krickett can make it, so can you. (B&H)

CLC World Updates: But I need that book now....

I don’t know about you, but I think waiting for a book to arrive is one of the most ‘annoying’ things in life! You simply cannot wait to dive into the book and explore new worlds, concepts, and teachings.

We might only have to wait a couple of days for it to arrive ... but it feels like forever!

Imagine however, if it did take forever!

Months pass by and you know exactly where your books are, but you can’t access them because customs hasn’t or won’t release them. This is a daily/ weekly/ monthly frustration for many of our teams around the world! Read about some current situations below: PNG: Two shipments of stock that were due to be delivered last December and March but, at the time of writing, had not yet been cleared through customs. The current situation is very time consuming and costly for the ministry.

Central Asia: Currently we are experiencing a real shortage of books and other goods for sale. As a result, sales remain low and it is increasingly difficult to pay our accounts, staff, etc...

Bangledash: Praise the Lord for an improving situation regarding customs clearance for our stock. This procedure is still not without problems, but the shop manager hopes they will have a more regular supply of imported books in the future.

CLC UK - Summer 2012:

This summer looks like it is going to be an exciting one with so many events, such as the Olympics, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and numerous Christian festivals and camps! Please remember to pray for our many shops and teams who will be devoting plenty ‘extra’ hours to the work they already do as they prepare for and participate in these various events.

S u m m e r 2 0 1 2 CLC Venezuela takes a leap of faith!

With our International Council conference in March came the exciting news that CLC Venezuela was granted ‘established country’ status. This means that they are now eligible to plant and support CLC ministries in other areas of the world! With great joy, they request prayer for the project to open a CLC bookshop in Bolivia. The legal requirements are being worked through at the time of writing, and it is hoped that a shop may be ready by the end of the year. Pray too for Gamaliel Padilla, the Venezuelan Director, as he and his family consider moving to Bolivia to initiate the ministry. Gamaliel writes, “May God guide us in all things and may we do His will.”
