Later captured and taken to a prisoner-of-war camp, Mirko met his first Seventh-day Adventist—a fellow prisoner— and challenged him about the Bible Sabbath. He lost the debate but what he won changed everything.
This is the remarkable true story of the Kavur family from the perspective of Mirko’s youngest son, Josip. It traces their missionary work in Macedonia, the military service of Mirko’s sons in World War II and the years after, during which they had to struggle to keep the Sabbath, and the risky escape of three sons—one with a new bride—from post-war Communist Yugoslavia to religious freedom in Australia.
Filled with stories of danger, determination and faithfulness, but also God’s presence as they sought to stand for, serve and share Him, this book will strengthen your resolve to stand for God until He comes to take us home.

Heaven’s makeover starts with a new wardrobe. From Genesis to Revelation righteousness is portrayed as a garment. What does the metaphor mean? Is it a robe of character, or a forensic camouflage that covers the filthy reality beneath?

In our complex post-Christian world, sharing our faith can seem equally complex. But consider how Jesus related to His multi-faith context, particularly His teaching in Luke 10:1–24. He engaged Jews, Samaritans, Roman gentiles, peasants, fishermen, urbanites, religious leaders, soldiers, merchants and others in spiritual discussions. His compassion, insights, authority and methodology left people amazed.
Drawing on this key teaching and the example of Jesus, this book suggests a simple, reproducible approach. It seeks to demystify evangelism, putting it within reach of every believer.
