If you know me personally then you will know that I do not have any children, which means that you’re probably asking why I’m reviewing children’s books, right? 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! Every parent that I have spoken to has explained how becoming a parent was and still is the most difficult thing that they have ever done, but at the same time children are also one of the greatest gifts from God. But wouldn’t we all loveContinue reading “Raising Kids in the way of Grace”
Enjoying God
Is it really possible to enjoy God on any given day? 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”
Wild at Heart
Generally speaking I read a lot of different material, different topics from all kinds of authors. I don’t review every book that I read, nor do I want to waste your time by reviewing books that you (my lovely readers) won’t find helpful and hopefully insightful. But with some books you just can’t resist… WildContinue reading “Wild at Heart”
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus
I haven’t read a book about somebody’s journey to faith in a long time, I almost forgot how great they can be. Most of the time I read theology books, books about Christian ministry, or Christian living books that I’ve been given to review. Recently a friend of mine read Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus andContinue reading “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus”
The Dignity Revolution
If you look at our world and see all of the injustices and wrongs that are committed against humanity, it won’t take long for you to realise that we need to come back to the truth that humanity is made in the image of God. Christians should loudest voice at the very forefront of everyContinue reading “The Dignity Revolution”
The Grid
Training has finally become a big focus of many churches, people are seeing the benefit of having Christians work in a church to gain practical experience whilst studying theology or doing some form of biblical studies. This truly is a great development, the benefits of which might only be seen in 20, 30 or 40Continue reading “The Grid”
The Art of Rest
Over the last few weeks my wife and I packed our entire life into boxes, done multiple car trips across Edinburgh, moved 50+ boxes, over 800 books, furniture and walked up three flights of stairs more times than I can count – and during all this I read a book on rest. Ironic, I know.Continue reading “The Art of Rest”
