Book Description
Written for new converts and seasoned believers alike, author Geoffrey Higham provides simple principle for anyone seeking to understand how to walk with the Creator. Drawing from the Book of Roman, chapters 6-8, Restoring Righteousness is an ideal study tool for individual bible study or for cell groups seeking a greater understanding of one of the core messages of Christianity. Filled with scriptural references, Higham challenges readers to no longer be complacent in their Christian walk. He writes, "This book is written to clear away all religious and nonreligious misconceptions of how to obtain eternal life. It will show readers how to be certain of eternal life, which is God's reward for doing His works of loving Him and our fellow man." Among the many topics covered in Restoring Righteousness are: How to overcome temptation and sin What is the true function of the kingdom? What is the baptism of the Holy spirit? Restoring Righteousness is a must-read for anyone who desires to be truly freed from the powers of sin and walk in liberty. About the Author: Geoffrey Higham received a death sentence from his doctor at the age of forty-eight. But the Holy Spirit had another agenda. Complete physical healing was followed by a passion to bring a message of righteousness to a sinful world. A successful businessman in his own right, Geoffrey left his business and followed the call of Jesus on an incredible journey of faith. Today, Geoffrey and his wife are back in Australia and can be seen on the Australian Christian Channel.

Book Description
Urban populations are projected to increase from 54% to 66% of the global population by 2050, with close to 90% of the increase concentrated in Asia and Africa. Cities and towns---a growing source of greenhouse gas emissions---will need to address challenges posed by climate change. A nature-based approach in identifying climate change vulnerabilities and developing relevant adaptation options was conducted in three towns of the Greater Mekong Subregion. Working with local governments, nongovernment organizations, women's groups, and professional associations, town-wide adaptation measures were defined by overlaying climate change projections on town plans and zoning schemes for strategic infrastructure. This publication captures valuable experience and lessons from the project.

Book Description
In a single timely tome, Rod Fisher packs a lot of what’s known about the history of the timbered house in Qld – the sum of research, writing and practice over 4 decades. While breaking new ground on its origin and development, the first 4 chapters concern several key themes: 1. the evolution of a Vernacular class of housing in the north of Australia: from aboriginal to modern day, comprising a series of styles and the means of identifying each one by era and attribute 2. the historical context to traditional housing: using census data and contemporary testimony to amplify its configuration which reflects cyclical condition, personal choice and social acceptance 3. the human dimension to the main varieties of habitat and its environment: specifically the pros and cons of observers and occupants of the day followed by resolution of their discrepancies 4 whether Brisbane was in any way different from the rest of the state: examining which varieties made the greatest imprint, from elite and multiple types to the predominant gabled, hipped, pyramidal and later multi-gabled dwellings of the Vernacular tradition The next couple of chapters are casestudies illustrating those aspects, particularly the evolution of traditional housing and the impact of historical change. Though set in Brisbane they reflect larger issues: 5. the early inner suburb of Petrie Terrace: which exhibits not only changes in timbered housing over time, but also the effect of road improvement, shopping centre diversion, stadium development, building renovation and gentrification more generally 6. a timbered dwelling of nearby Bowen Hills: which, being modified several times in its lifetime and finally removed elsewhere, demonstrates change, as well as the influence of the locale and the impact of transportation improvements on housing and community At the same time, this volume serves as a guide and reference, partly by information, advice and example, but more specifically by means of the handy classification of Vernacular styles in the 1st chapter, and ultimately by instructions for researching any house in Qld: 7. a step-by-step guide to historical investigation and exposition: using a dwelling in Annerley/Tarragindi as the example That practical purpose is reinforced in the final 3 chapters by a Supplement of related material, Glossary of requisite terms and Bibliography of relevant sources on both the history and heritage of timbered housing – plus plentiful illustrations of course. As there hasn’t been a work on this intriguing subject for a long time – nor anything ever like this one – it will serve general readers, professionals, researchers, writers and academics on the one hand, and owners, occupants, renovators, restorers and vendors on the other, whether in Brisbane, Qld or elsewhere in Australia. To all and sundry, its core message is conveyed by one of Joni Mitchell’s bygone ballads: Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘Till it’s gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
