I thought that I’d do a special short post to draw your attention to 2 very short, but quite helpful book pertaining to our current situation. How should Christians respond to the Coronavirus? I’ve seen Christians claim that it’s God’s judgment, I’ve seen others claim that it’s the work of Satan. I’ll be honest, neitherContinue reading “Coronavirus books…”

Saturday Snippets (April 11)
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.
Don’t waste your isolation!
How many times in prayer meetings, or discussions with brothers and sisters in Christ, have we said “I just wish I had more time!”? We’re surrounded by constant distractions and things that pull on our time. Prayer time is shortened, Bible reading is all but gone except for a wee quick verse in the morningContinue reading “Don’t waste your isolation!”
Some of the books I’ve read recently…
One of the joys of reading the amount of material that I do is that I get to devour tons and tons of knowledge. One of the downsides is that I can’t always write full reviews on every book. If I reviewed every book I read, I’d need to make this my full-time job! ButContinue reading “Some of the books I’ve read recently…”
Apologetics ≠ Evangelism
In the social media post of my last book review I commented on the distinction between apologetics and evangelism. Why do I think that this is an important distinction? Because

Evangelism… it seems to be the word that scares many Christians away and makes them run for the hills. People say that it’s difficult. People say that they don’t feel equipped.

Easter Readings and Giveaways for 2020…
Lent is an interesting thing. I wasn’t raised in what I would call a ‘liturgical family’, sure I remember hearing about lent because people give up chocolate or alcohol for a few weeks. But my understanding of lent didn’t really go beyond that. It’s only been in recent years as I’ve seen the incredible benefitContinue reading “Easter Readings and Giveaways for 2020…”
What I read on holiday…
I was working over Christmas and New Year and had quite a busy time, but as 2020 came into being I had just over a week off. But don’t let the picture confuse you, I was not on a tropical beach. My wife, Sabine, and I enjoyed a week of holiday in our flat inContinue reading “What I read on holiday…”

Today I’m doing something I’ve never done before; a guest post. Ciarán is a friend of mine and a fellow man in ministry in Scotland. Here he touches on some great books, some of which I’ve read and some that I haven’t. My name is Ciarán Kelleher. I am a Pastor-in-Training at St Andrews Free Church.Continue reading “Guest post: 5 books that have impacted me…”
Study the Word…
As 2020 is coming just over the horizon maybe, like many Christians in the world, you’re thinking “What will I study in the Bible this year?” We spend so much time thinking about what we, as adults, do and study in our quiet times, but do we afford our children and young people the sameContinue reading “Study the Word…”
