As well as reading a lot of books, I also read a ton of articles every week. Here are some of the articles that I’ve read recently and have found interesting, helpful, challenging and encouraging. I hope that they will be the same for you, my dear readers.

I’ve been studying the book of James recently and writing a short series of small group studies on certain parts of the book. I have been seriously challenged by the book of James and it has made me think about how we, as Christians, talk and live. There are many different scenarios and examples of how Christians should speak and live out their faith on a daily basis. Over the last few days I’ve had two particular issues, or examples, on my mind…

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 of studying, reading but most importantly a lot of prayer! I’d like to point out some helpful tools that will help you take a passage from the study to a sermon, from the study to a small group or from the desk to discipleship. These three books are wonderful tools that will help preachers, small group leaders and every Christians get to grips with a book of the Bible and be capable to teach it to others.

It is a joy to have David Nixon as a guest post today. David is the Associate Pastor of Carrubbers Christian Centre in Edinburgh, a lovely Christian man and a very competent and engaging apologist. I’ve wanted to do a post on the Black Lives Matter from an apologetics perspective for a wee while now, but Nixon has done a far better job than I ever could…

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, but I personally think that men should read along with at least a few of them…

Our world is normally a very busy place. People running to and fro. Cars driving and honking their horns. There isn’t much time for silence and stillness, at least not in a city. But one of the benefits for some during lockdown has been the opportunity to be still…

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 all the books I’m send, which kind of defeats the purpose. So every once in a while I like to do a longer list of some of the books I’ve read recently. Not all of these books were sent to me for the purpose of a review, but most of them were. I hope you enjoy this post and if you want to know more about one specific books, get in touch and I’d love to chat with you 🙂
