Alec Motyer was a well known British Bible teacher and author who has written lots of commentaries and books on a variety of topics. He had the ability to take the deep theology of Isaiah and the Psalms and root it in the every day life of a Christian. In my opinion his commentary onContinue reading “Motyer by the Day”

Saturday Snippets (October 26)
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…
Easter Devotions
Lent is an interesting time where Christians from many different church traditions and backgrounds use the time in the run up to Easter to prepare themselves for celebrating the magnificence that is Easter. Some Christian publishers bring out new devotionals each year to help people focus on Jesus, let me introduce you to two ofContinue reading “Easter Devotions”

A mixed goodie bag
As the year goes on, I find that my to-review pile mounts up. Most of the book on that pile are good, but because of the volume of Christian material that is published each year, it’s hard to know where to invest your time because time is limited. That’s where I come in! Today I’dContinue reading “A mixed goodie bag”
It’s Christmas Time
Ok, well, not quite. It is still November, but there are Christmas songs on the radio, Christmas decorations on houses, tress being decorated and presents are being bought and wrapped.

Meeting Christ in the Garden
I find myself speaking a lot about devotional material lately, reading and recommending devotional books for Christians and thinking about what’s involved in the devotional life of a believer.

Devotions for different seasons…
Ever few months I receive a new devotional work that is published to help the Christian grow in their love for and knowledge of Jesus. Some devotions are written for particular times of the year, like Advent or Easter, whilst others are general studies that you can undertake at any point. I’d like to introduceContinue reading “Devotions for different seasons…”
It’s that time of the year (nearly)…
As a book reviewer, Christmas is a confusing time of the year, mostly because I start reading Christmas books normally in September. Each year publishers produce different Christmas books to help you think about Christmas. Some books are designed to give away to non-Christian friends and family, others are to help you over advent reflectContinue reading “It’s that time of the year (nearly)…”
