Christian ethics is a topic that I’m not sure many Christians read up on much, but it is a topic that every Christian engages with on an almost daily basis. How should Christians respond to abortion, divorce, bioethics, trans-humanism, suicide, etc? These are big issues that every Christian probably has an opinion on, but whereContinue reading “Tough Issues, True Hope”

Bumps, Babies and the Gospel
There are thousands, if not millions, of books about parenting out there today. There are thousands of books on parenting from a Christian perspective too. Although I am not a parent, I have read a good number of the parenting books from a Christian perspective. But I’d like to tell you about this one ‘Bumps,Continue reading “Bumps, Babies and the Gospel”
The Duty of a Disciple, is evangelism outdated?
Evangelism, it’s a word with interesting and very different responses; it can either fill a room or it can empty one. For some, the word evangelism can feel like a whip that’s cracked against their backs to get out into the world and share Jesus. For others, it’s a word that gives them a taskContinue reading “The Duty of a Disciple, is evangelism outdated?”
Books for Kids, Teens and Families…
There are some great kids books out there, it’s important that we invest the same amount of time finding them sound books that are based on the Bible and point them to Jesus as we would for ourselves. Here are a few of the books I’ve been sent recently for kids, teens and families…
Generosity and sports…
One of the joys of being a book reviewer is that I receive books on a huge variety of topics. I can open a parcel and find books on parenting, church life, discipleship, evangelism, Christian identity, and so on. Two topics that I probably haven’t read much on over the years are generosity and sports.Continue reading “Generosity and sports…”
Books that will make you praise the Lord!
If you know me at all, you’ll know that I enjoy reading deeply theological books. I enjoy geeking out on the massive systematic theology textbooks and academic commentaries. However, one of the things I enjoy most is reading a book that conveys deep theology in a simple way and that leads you to praise GodContinue reading “Books that will make you praise the Lord!”
Tools to help you teach…
One of the parts that I enjoy most in my job is the privilege that I have of preaching. It is an absolute honour and joy to be able to stand before people and open up God’s Word with them. But there is a lot of preparation that goes into a sermon, a lot ofContinue reading “Tools to help you teach…”
Books written by women for women, that men should read too…
The majority of books are written for anybody and everybody to read. Sure, they maybe have a specific demographic in mind or they’re targeted at a particular type of person (parents, teacher, pastor, etc.). But there are also books that are written for very specific audiences. Here are five books written by women for women,Continue reading “Books written by women for women, that men should read too…”
Some of my recent reads…
One of the great benefits of writing regular book reviews is that publishers send me a good number of books to review. I have a number of publishers who send me books and I enjoy the majority of the books I’m sent. But if I reviewed every single book individually then I’d never review allContinue reading “Some of my recent reads…”
Books for wee ones and not so wee ones…
I quite enjoy reading kids books, not just because I like the pictures but because, if done properly, they convey wonderfully deep and meaningful truths in simple language so that the smallest child can marvel at God. What we read to and teach our children is hugely important! We wouldn’t dare fill our own mindsContinue reading “Books for wee ones and not so wee ones…”
