This is a bit of a different post from my normal weekly book review, instead of giving a bigger review of one book, I decided to give three shorter reviews of three great children’s books. If you don’t have children, don’t stop reading! These books are great ideas for gifts for families and children forContinue reading “Three great children’s books”

Love came down at Christmas
I know that it is only November but I thought that I’d plug just a small book before we get the onslaught of jingle bells, happy little elves and a big man wearing red with a white beard. I know, I also think that I’m loosing my mind! Christmas is a funny time of year,Continue reading “Love came down at Christmas”
The Intolerance of Tolerance
One of the court cases that has been in the news recently revolves around tolerance, Ashers bakery and a cake. A customer asked for a cake that was clearly supporting homosexual marriage and the baker refused to make the cake; that was back in 2014. Along the way the Ashers and other evangelical Christians haveContinue reading “The Intolerance of Tolerance”

The reason I’m reviewing these children’s Christmas books is because I realise that many parents struggle to find good materials that are exciting and interesting for childrenContinue reading “The Nativity”
Raising Kids in the way of Grace
Let’s start off with pure honesty… Parenting is difficult!

But wouldn’t we all loveContinue reading “Raising Kids in the way of Grace”

You might be thinking ‘Yeah sure, on Sundays or during times when life is generally OK, that’s when I can enjoy God’ but what about time of difficulty? Can you enjoy God when the car breaks down on the way to your holiday, orContinue reading “Enjoying God”
Turning Everyday Conversations into Gospel Conversations
There are plenty of books written on the topic of evangelism and plenty of books written about evangelism strategies for church, by there are few books (to my very limited knowledge!) on actually how to tell people the gospel. Turning everyday conversations into gospel conversations
Gender
Gender has become one of the most talked about topics in recent years. Society has changed. What seemed a given 40 years ago, that a person was assigned their sex at birth, is no longer a given and people can choose their gender. I am glad to see that Christians are not too far behindContinue reading “Gender”
