Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy: Eight Truths for Pursuing Unity in your Church by Jamie Dunlop We all know the familiar texts on the importance of brotherly love and unity in the church. But are we honest with ourselves about our commitment to this? Especially unity with ‘those people’ – the ones who, […]

Upcoming: The Scuttlebutt Letters

This is one to keep an eye out for – if you enjoy satire. Reminiscent of C S Lewis’ Screwtape Letters, Natalie Brand has cleverly written a series of letters from the Heart to the Tongue. The Heart strongly berates the Tongue for all manner of sly and malicious dealings demonstrating the many references in […]

Review Throwback: Caleb’s Lamb

We are so pleased to have this little book available again! When I read it to our children back in 2008 I found it powerful and moving.

Dealing with Doubt

This article is taken from the New Focus Magazine, January 2024. It was written by Alfred Hewlett (1804 – 1885) who was a high-calvinist Anglican preacher and writer. Perhaps there is no subject which creates so much distress among real Christians, as the doubt and perplexity of the mind, with regard to an individual interest […]

This week I’m reading…

Through Water & Fire by Matthew Wainwright (Wakeman, 2023). Matthew Wainwright has written another brilliant historical novel! Through Water & Fire is set in the exciting times of Tudor England when Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament is being smuggled illegally into the hands of the common man and the truths of the Reformation are […]
