1 1 y separately published work icon The Grace of Goodness : John Saunders Baptist Pastor and Activist, Sydney 1834-1848 : a Documentary Biography Ken R. Manley , Barbara J. Coe , Macquarie Park : Greenwood Press Baptist Historical Society of NSW , 2014 9738683 2014 single work biography

'Rev John Saunders (1806-1859) was the pioneer Baptist pastor in Sydney from 1834 to 1848. As well as established the first Baptist Church at Bathurst Street in 1836 he became a prominent activist in the religious and moral life of the colony. A leading figure in the temperance movement at a time when alcohol was still a major scourge, he was also a courageous and outspoken critic of the treatment of Aborigines by many British settlers at the fevered time of the trial of white men for the Myall Creek murders. Henry Reynolds called his sermon on this theme 'one of the most eloquent presentations of humanitarian doctrine' from that period.' (Source: Back cover)

'When Tom Cutter hires Constantine Shaklin as an engineer in his international air freight business, he little realizes the extraordinary gifts of his new recruit. Shaklin soon proves to possess a charismatic power that inspires everyone he meets to a new faith and hope for humanity. As Cutter’s business expands across the Middle East and Asia, so does Shaklin’s fame, unifying people from a wide array of cultures and religions with his unusual blend of the practical and the spiritual.'
