Christmas is the perfect time to give someone a little gift. What better gift to pass to someone than a small booklet that will tell them about Jesus?
Here are three small, very short, resources that you can give away. You can use these as an individual, as a church or as a family to point others to Jesus this Christmas. Continue reading “Christmas giveaways…”
Children’s Christmas books are important, they must be pleasing to the eyes, exciting for the children and faithful to Scripture. We wouldn’t settle for anything less when it comes to a book for adults, so why should we settle for less with children’s books?Continue reading “Kids Christmas books…”
I know, and I am sorry, okay?!
I know it’s only the 5th of November and that Christmas shouldn’t even be a topic right now, but if you want to have some good books in time for the Christmas season then I need to write this post!
If you’re anything like me, Continue reading “Dealing with Christmas…”
One of the questions that I get asked quite a lot is ‘how do you remember the stuff that you read due to the volume of books you get through?’ That is a great question! I have a terrible memory for information, I can hear or read something and have no recollection of it moments later.

You know those excruciating times where you have no idea what to do, or which direction to take and you feel completely lost at sea. You’ve got questions and possible outcomes running through your head at a hundred miles an hour…Should I make that radical career change? Should I quit my job and go to Bible College? Which university should I apply for and what course? Is that the person that God wants me to marry? It feel like you’re going crazy.Continue reading “How do I know God’s Will for my life?”

So how do we mature as Christians? Continue reading “Maturing as Christians…”
Being a Christian is tough isn’t it? By the way, it is okay for you to admit it!
Everyone feels it; everyone, though to a different extent, struggles. Those struggles may come because of the hardships in life, because of questions that we have or maybe you’re struggling because it’s tough living for God in a world that hates God.
Maybe you’re thinking ‘Wow! He’s really struggling to come up with content this week.’ Continue reading “Who are we?”
How to read the Bible is a huge question! Some people read it at face value, whilst some people look into it more in depth and try to find bits that ‘don’t quite fit’. There are thousands of people who die every year for their faith in Jesus that they see in Scripture. But there are thousands of scholars who spend their time denying central truths in Scripture.

Each of us will look back and remember times of encouragement and times of turmoil. We all know those ‘mountaintop experiences’ but we also are well acquainted with the valley experiences. How do we get through those times where life just feels like a hard slog?Continue reading “The hard slog…”
