Illustrated shorter catechism

One of the things that I have grown to love about Reformed theology over the years is the importance that it places on training children in the way of the Lord. Don’t get me wrong, other traditions do this too, but I have grown to love some of the resources that have come out ofContinue reading “Illustrated shorter catechism”

Teaching Leviticus

Leviticus, for some, is a difficult book. I’ve heard it described, I think by Tim Challies, as the book where Bible reading plans go to die. People start the year with enthusiasm and the desire to read the Bible in a year. Starting at Genesis things go well until Leviticus where it gets complicated. TheContinue reading “Teaching Leviticus”

Life with Jesus, what does that look like?

Someone becoming a Christian is a wonderful miracle! God, by His Spirit, has brought someone who was dead in their sins and trespasses to be alive in Christ that is great news! But what next? I’ve often heard people say that when they became Christians they were given a Bible and just told to followContinue reading “Life with Jesus, what does that look like?”

Evangelism doesn’t need to be scary

There are many books out in the Christian world about the topic of evangelism. I think this is largely because as Christians many of us struggle to share the message of Jesus. So people have taken to write books on how you can practically share Jesus, then there are apologetics books, there are books onContinue reading “Evangelism doesn’t need to be scary”

Holiday reads

For some people their ideal holiday is a lovely city break, walking around viewing the architecture. For others their dream holiday is exploring new places, hiking and doing adventurous things. For me, my ideal holiday is where I get the time and space to sit in the sun and read. When we go on holidayContinue reading “Holiday reads”

Road map to Jesus

Well folks, it’s here, my book is finally available! It’s both exciting and scary. Exciting because my labour of the last couple years has finally taken shape. Scary because people are reading my words and reviews are coming in. I tell you, it’s weird being on the other side of a book review!

Jesus’ words, grief, the environment, journaling and God’s rascal

Those five things don’t seem like they have much in common do they? Well, normally they wouldn’t, but today there is one thing that connects them all; they’re all books that I’ve recently read and would like to share with you. Of the 5 short reviews below 2 aren’t that positive, 2 are positive andContinue reading “Jesus’ words, grief, the environment, journaling and God’s rascal”

Truth for Kids

One of the most important things that any parent can do is to teach their child about Jesus. There are plenty of great resources out there, each with their own strengths and approaches, designed to help parents teach their children and get them into the Bible from an early age. But sometimes children’s books oftenContinue reading “Truth for Kids”

Pastor, Jesus is enough

Spend anytime with a Pastor, listening to what a ‘normal’ week looks like in their lives and you’ll soon learn that being a Pastor isn’t easy. I’m not meaning to set up those in ministry against those who aren’t, I don’t think that’s right. However, it is important to notice the draining nature of full-timeContinue reading “Pastor, Jesus is enough”
