John (Dad) is running a lubricants business in Dandenong, in partnership with his brother.

MarJo (Mum) is home educating the younger children, and will be answering your phone calls most of the day.

Michael is managing the stationery department of an Officeworks shop in Clayton.

Chris is working in a laptop computer refurbishment company, writing programs to speed up administration.

Gabrielle is working in child care, and also at a Salvation Army store.

David is managing the warehouse for an office supplies company in Huntingdale.

Tim, Stephen and Thea are still school age and their lessons take up most of their time.

We all help to run the business during the evenings and whatever other time we have available.

The outcome of this to you will be minimal. Whenever possible we will send your orders the same day they arrive (as has been our practice); however there will be times when nobody is available until evening, in which case they will be sent the following day.

Similarly, your emails and phone messages might be returned the following day instead of the same day. However, in either case, if you have not heard from us within a week of sending your message, please follow us up!

There will be no change to any other aspect of our service - our free advice by phone and email, our product range and prices, or our returns policy.

It is with great regret that we have taken this step, but we are thankful that we still have the option to provide this service to you.

We have updated our catalogue with current prices - if you don't have a July 2009 copy please ask.

We have also added some great new items to our range:

Our Sunburnt Country 300g $38.50
Back in print, revised and updated by Downunder Literature.

Tells the story of Australia's heritage, from Aboriginal settlement until the present, in a format suitable for reading alone or as a family.

Soft cover, 144 pages with hundreds of colour illustrations.

Making Brothers & Sisters Best Friends 400g $33
Brothers and sisters are among the most important people in life, yet often they are also the most trouble. The problem is not just the surface battles, but the underlying attitudes, wrong concepts and offenses. Many broken relationships never get fixed. Few enjoy the special life-long treasure that God intended.

The emphasis of this book is not merely "getting along" with your brothers and sisters, but making them your best friends. It includes many personal stories and insights from a family of three who have learned the concepts the hard way and want to show that it CAN happen. Full of funny cartoon illustrations by their Dad.

Another Great Australian 400g $16.95
Shares the testimonies of 40 great Australians in "cereal bowl sized" servings. Read the stories of men and women whose faith in God enabled them to lay a solid foundation of Christianity in Australia. These "parables of the past" will not only educate and entertain, they will challenge the church of today, just as Christ challenged His audience with parables.

The challenge is for the Church to rise up and harvest the fruit grown from the abundant seed down into this nation by such a great cloud of witnesses. Most of all, these stories will challenge us to walk closely with the Lord of the Harvest, Jesus Christ, looking to Him for strength, direction, provision and comfort, just as our brave Christian pioneers did. Use it as devotions for your family, as a base for your sermon or group discussion, or just read it over breakfast.

Shepherding a Child's Heart 400g $33
Written for parents with children of any age, this insightful book provides perspectives and procedures for shepherding (nurturing) your child's heart into the paths of life. A fresh Biblical approach to child rearing. Highly recommended!

How to Write Clearly 200g $16.50
By Ruth Beechick. At last - a sensible book about writing grammatically without all the ins and outs of grammar rules. This guide to written expression describes the MEANING approach - after all, the purpose of writing is to communicate. The student has to learn only enough grammar to understand when his expression confuses, and what he can do to make it clear to readers. Use the book with secondary students (it will take about a month at ten minutes per day) and then as a trouble-shooter thereafter when errors are made.

Language and Thinking for Young Children 300g $22
By Ruth Beechick. A whole year's language course for children who cannot read yet, or are still in process of learning. Without workbooks, "readers" or busywork, this manual will help you keep language learning happening and skill growing. It gives strategies for increasing learning on excursions, in story telling, in everyday life, and anywhere. The scene is set for lifelong logical thinking, enjoying books, using a growing vocabulary, and being articulate. Another Beechick beauty!

Harvey's Elementary Grammar and Composition 300g $29.70
If you have been looking for all the grammar, punctuation and composition rules together in one place, fully explained and with exercises to check that the student truly understands, here it is! Written by a master grammarian in 1869, and then slightly updated by the current publishers, this sturdy hardback book will provide insight into the finer points of our language. Originally used in Grade 4, but suitable for use by older students and as a general reference book.

Also answers 150g $13.20 - essential unless you are an excellent grammarian.

Saxon Algebra 1 (2nd edition) secondhand 1.4kg $66
Similar content to the current edition Algebra 1. Solutions Manuals no longer available.
