ABM is pleased to offer our new 2027 Lent (or anytime) Study to the church. Written by the Rev’d Canon Dr Christy Capper, this fresh, new, Australian work focusses on discipleship, a priority for all God’s people.
An encouragement to spiritual growth, ‘becoming’ and Holy joy, ‘Christ Becoming Us Becoming Christ’ is a powerful and accessible new work by an emerging leader in missional theology.
Once again, ABM brings you a resource to help grow faith and engage with God’s mission.
Perfect for individual study, or for groups, parishes and dioceses who take discipleship seriously.
Not another book from England or America, ‘Christ Becoming Us Becoming Christ’, looks at discipleship from an Australian point of view. Christy’s passion for enabling others to discover their calling is evident on every page.
See what others have to say:
”Christy Capper has written a fine book on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, made in God’s image and called into ministry. It is based on solid theology and a strong biblical understanding but at the same is very accessible in its language and brings a delightfully personal note to the discussions. I highly recommend it!”
Revd Canon Professor Emerita Dorothy Lee AM FAHA
”Lent is a great time for going back to the basics, and reflecting anew on discipleship is a perfect way to do that. In this short, delightful book Canon Christy Capper calls us to embody, demonstrate, and proclaim our faith as Jesus’ disciples, and to be renewed in our sharing in Christ’s priesthood and in Christ’s mission. She draws from her deep and wide knowledge of theology, but also from her life-long experience of becoming a more and more faithful disciple. What a lovely way to journey toward Easter!”

”This series of Christian studies offers a thoughtful companion for the journey of faith. Its personal content brings warmth and honesty to the material, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and recognise God’s presence in everyday life.
A particular strength is the connection between Christian teaching and lived experience. The personal reflections encourage readers to consider how faith shapes their relationships, choices and responses to both joy and difficulty. They also create space for questions, reminding us that spiritual growth is an ongoing journey.
The series encourages readers to move beyond simply gaining knowledge towards a deeper relationship with God. It invites thoughtful engagement, prayer and a willingness to be changed through reflection. Readers may find some experiences resonate more closely than others, but each offers an opportunity to consider their own unfolding story of faith.
Suitable for personal reflection or group discussion, these studies provide encouragement for those beginning their Christian journey and those seeking to renew their faith. Their value lies in the invitation to walk more closely with Christ, with greater honesty, understanding and hope.”
Reverend Canon Auntie Di Langham
Director of Reconciliation, Anglican Diocese of Newcastle
”Christy’s book is an invitation to live into the fullness of what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Without skirting the major issues, she encourages every member of the church to embrace their authentic self and calling, “authenticity is to bring the fullness of one’s unique, God-inspired, self to life.”
This is a text about ‘becoming’, about ‘Holy joy’ and about God’s graceful invitation to be part of the healing and renewal of all things, not least, ourselves.”
