I know, and I am sorry, okay?! I know it’s only the 5th of November and that Christmas shouldn’t even be a topic right now, but if you want to have some good books in time for the Christmas season then I need to write this post! If you’re anything like me,

Reading worth remembering…
One of the questions that I get asked quite a lot is ‘how do you remember the stuff that you read due to the volume of books you get through?’ That is a great question! I have a terrible memory for information, I can hear or read something and have no recollection of it momentsContinue reading “Reading worth remembering…”
Books for and about teenagers…
Being a teenager is tough, but being a Christian teenager is even more so! I’ve worked with teenagers for a a good number of years now and I have always said that they are in one of the most difficult places to be a Christian; the school ground. Christian teens are
How do I know God’s Will for my life?
If you’ve spent any time at all around Christians, then you’ve heard this question and you’ve probably asked it yourself a number of times too, right?

The hard slog…
Each of us will look back and remember times of encouragement and times of turmoil. We all know those ‘mountaintop experiences’ but we also are well acquainted with the valley experiences. How do we get through those times where life just feels like a hard slog?
Get Preaching…
I love preaching! I enjoy having the privilege to be paid full-time to study and expound God’s Word in many different settings; from the pulpit, in the coffee shop and in evangelism. Preaching is an absolute joy, but it is also difficult.
Ecclesiastes
There are some parts of the Bible that are like Marmite, for my non-British readers Marmite is a yeast spread that some people love to have on their toast and other people hate it. If something is described as Marmite in the UK it means that some love it and some hate it. The bookContinue reading “Ecclesiastes”
