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.

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 🙂

Writing has become a hobby of mine. I enjoy spending my spare time writing down thoughts and my hope is that they would be helpful to you, my readers. But writing isn’t always ‘fun’ there are many struggles and discouragements that come with writing. Here’s a wee insight into behind the scenes of blogging and writing…Continue reading “The Struggles of Writing…”
What we sing is significant…
I was recently challenged in a writing community group to write a 250 word piece on the topic ‘The Songs We Sing”. Here is my short reflection, if you’re interested…

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 minds with false teaching and we wouldn’t read materials for spiritual growth that are not based on God’s Word. So we should expect no less from books for our children! Here are a few books for young children and some helpful books for pre-teens too…
