Rev Heather Mc Clelland
from HopeStreet has written two books, Holy Topsy-Turvydom and The
Almond Tree. Heather is a counsellor who works with many people
who suffer from chronic illness, addictions, relational struggles
and physical and emotional pain.
Holy Topsy Turvydom
Is a book which was launched in May 2003. It compiles about
twenty Australian Stories, written personally and very honestly,
by people who have suffered trauma in their lives and who describe
how trauma has impacted them and also how it has begun to be healed.
Most of us carry unresolved
trauma in our lives, far more than one might suspect. This book
could prove a catalyst for healing. It may also be of use for those
who are studying Pastoral Care and Counselling and for those working
in the helping and healing professions. Finally the book can have
an educative function and may challenge our ingrained habit of passing
judgement on others.
Price: $20 + postage
The Almond Tree
This book was first published in 1995. It is also a compilation
of Australian Stories. This time the topic is sexual abuse. The
stories come from a wide range of perspectives and show the church
both as a healing community but also as part of the problem.

Jesus the Divine worker
A Bible Study in Poetry
From Mark's Gospel in the Greek New Testament
Nothing is more important for men
and women today than to be introduced to Jesus Christ. A great place
to begin is the Gospel of Mark ... The Gospel about Jesus Christ,
the Servant Saviour, who announces the coming of the kingdom and
calls people to radical discipleship.
'... The work exhibits serious study of the background details as
well as the text itself. Mabel Anne not only helps us to understand
the Gospel by insightful comments, but she also exhorts us to apply
the teaching to our personal lives.'
Rev. Angelo Gratsounas
In the early eighties, Mabel Anne spent her days off duty on Manly
Beach making studies from the Greek Testament and turning them into
poetry and song. They have been broadcast on radio since 1982 and
on satellite since 1996.
Mabel Anne has now put several hundred pages of this poetry and
song into print. Almost 20,000 of Mabel Anne's books have been sold
in aid of Mission work. This is her seventh book.
Price: $10.50
Those Years of
the Locust 
Shows us a fresh picture of the Great Depression drawn by a survivor
whose love for Jesus Christ drove her to help the people who were
hardest hit. Mabel Anne tells us what it was really like in the
inner suburbs of Sydney, where she worked as a mission sister with
the Sydney City Mission.
Price: $8.50
The Song of the Bamu 
Tells of Mabel Anne's experiences as a pioneer medical missionary
in Papua New Guinea. This story of the everyday experiences of a
Sydney nurse working in isolated Papuan villages becomes truly a
hymn of praise and joy.

A Hospital Grows ... or doesn't
it? 
How did a fifteen-bed nursing home grow from 28 pounds? The answer
is given in this book, which tells of the energy, ingenuity and
faith of Mabel Anne Bladon, whose great heart and total dedication
to God surmounted hurdles which would have stopped the rest rest
of us in our tracks.
Price: $7.00
Songs and Poems 
Is the crowning of glory of Mabel Anne's writing experience. The
poems reflect a simple faith, a deep theology and a clear philosophy.
They are illustrated with beautiful coloured photographs of Australia.

Tidal Waves on the Bamu
With warmth and honesty Mabel Anne shows us the everyday
scenes of building canoes, coping with snakes and crocodiles and
eating sago grubs ... To Mabel Anne Bladon a dark evil-smelling
hut with its sick and despairing family was the very gate of Heaven.
