What began as the author's simple expectations, developed into unimaginable opportunities to share the love of Jesus in unlikely locations. From a first timid entry into Pakistan, God opened up doors to other fields. Tell Them I'm Alive is about searching for fresh purpose when life takes a different turn. It is an account of the faithfulness of God in calling, but also equipping and sheltering of His children where danger prevails. The distinct message on Marion's heart came from Jesus Himself: "Tell Them I'm Alive". "If you are like me you will be amazed at what Marion attempted through Christ. She felt compelled to tell people who were imprisoned by circumstances, trapped in misery and hemmed in by spiritual darkness, that Jesus the great Liberator could not be incarcerated even by death. He was alive and ready to free all who wanted that freedom." Bishop Reg Piper former Senior Minister, Gymea Anglican "In a world where risks are increasingly avoided, Marion recounts a testimony of trusting and obeying, loving and forgiving, risking and rescuing...This is a story about never giving up on the promptings and call of God. Marion thank you once again for inspiring and encouraging me to listen to and love people in Jesus' name." Rev Jonathan Shanks, Senior Minister, Northern Life Baptist Church

A Taste of Grace is an easy-to-read page-turning exploration of God's amazing grace, demonstrated and illustrated by the teachings of Jesus. A Taste of Grace proclaims God's grace as irreconcilably opposed to the core values and beliefs of institutionalized religion and reveals God's grace to be an absurd and foolish sentiment that doesn't add up to the human mind.

What makes a man masculine? A woman feminine? Did God design the two genders so differently? If so, why? The answers to these questions will free women and men to gladly embrace all that it means to be fully alive as gendered bearers of God's image who can profoundly impact others for good by the way they relate. Author and psychologist Dr. Larry Crabb presents a biblically grounded understanding of gender uniqueness. His illustration of a bridge of connection shows how the two genders can relationally come together in God-revealing harmony as they celebrate their God-designed uniqueness. Readers will discover that God created male and female to relate in gender-specific ways to make a difference in others by displaying God's relational character. Crabb clearly shows men and women what it means to live fully alive as feminine women and masculine men.
