Son of a Preacher Man
by Matthew Gregorowski
(1992G)
Self-published
Matthew Gregorowski
was born in District Six
during apartheid. His father
Christopher (1956G) was
a renowned bishop in the
Anglican church (and is a
Robert Gray medallist). As
an avid traveller, Matthew
encountered the dark side
of Asia’s tourist trade, which
sparked in him a desire to
understand his purpose –
and set him on the path to
writing Son of a Preacher
Man, a deeply personal
exploration of faith and
self-realisation, and a
compelling narrative about
the transformative power of
spirituality. Matthew takes
the reader on his journey
to understand his father’s
calling and discover his own
path to fulfilment. Taking up
Vedic meditation as a way
to manage his anxiety, he
finally meets God on his
own terms. Today, Matthew
continues his modern-day
ministry from beachside
Sydney, thanks to more
than a decade of daily
meditation practice.
Final Report of
Excavations on the
Hill of the Ophel by
RAS Macalister and
J Garrow Duncan
1923-1925
The Art of War
and Peace
by Garth Gilmour (1976F)
Routledge
Prolific author Greg Mills’s
most recent collaboration
project with David Kilcullen
explores how today’s wars
can be won, and how that
success can be translated
into an enduring peace.
Using their experience
as policy advisors in
conflicts in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Colombia and across
Africa, as well as lessons
learnt from their more
recent fieldwork in Israel,
Ukraine, Ethiopia and
Taiwan, the authors
analyse the nature of
modern war, considering
both large-scale stateon-state conflicts, as
well as limited-objective,
irregular conflicts with
intra-state dimensions.
Garth Gilmour is a Near
Eastern archaeologist who
has excavated at sites in
Israel, Cyprus and Turkey.
His particular focus is on
the Bronze and Iron Ages
in the southern Levant
and eastern Mediterranean.
His new book outlines the
finds from the Ophel Hill
excavation a century ago
that have been curated
and stored in the archives
of the Palestine Exploration
Fund in London. It includes
a history of the excavation,
and detailed descriptions
and illustrations of the
finds ranging from the
Chalcolithic period
through to the Ottoman
period. As a reference
volume, Final Report
will interest students
and researchers of ancient
Near Eastern archaeology
– particularly those who
are engaged in research
in the southern Levant.
