Seize The Day: Memoirs [Australian Languages]

By Gideon Goosen

I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10

This is a story of life and change. It is the story of one man's response to change in society, in church, in his own personal journey and the decisions involved in responding to change. It is a story that many people in the churches will recognise and affirm. It is a journey that involves faith - from his beginnings as a child in South Africa, through various university studies, teaching at tertiary levels, to life and career in Australia, and several overseas visits. Throughout, his church identity has been strong but challenged... by bishops who resist change, by clergy who cling to authority, by attitudes towards ecumenism that reflect a church sometimes unwilling to abandon its medieval structures to embrace and engage with contemporary society. This is an intensely personal story with a message for all who struggle with the challenges of being Christian in our increasingly secular world.
