Following on from studying Romans 1, Lizzie Laferton asks us to join Paul in immersing/rooting/wrapping ourselves in the news of “Jesus Christ our Lord” daily such that it feels very natural and wonderful to call out an invitation to others: Come on in. The water’s lovely.
Springing from our Sunday mornings in the book of Daniel, Lizzie Laferton explores the 'Distinctive Hope' that characterises Daniel and friends, and the witness it is to the watching world. They have a hope that isn't tied to the things of this world and doesn't falter when the things of this world perish, spoil or fade, or the people of this world persecute, sin against us or prove false. Such a hope enables living that stands out. Read more...
How do we make sense of a God who no one has seen, but who has perfectly revealed Himself to us through Jesus? Katherine Gill writes that she thinks this is the key question of the book ‘Incomparable’ by Andrew Wilson. The truths contained in it, in one sense, are nothing that we have not heard before. However, Andrew Wilson gives us a fresh new perspective on different elements of God’s character and helps us to appreciate the things about Him that we often take for granted. Read on for more...
Alan writes: “Gentle and Lowly was originally brought to my attention by my wife Gilly. I read it a couple of years ago but re-read it recently on the recommendation of a Pastor friend of mine. It impacted me on first read but more so recently. How could I find a book about Jesus’ heart – gentle and lowly - quite so breathtaking and challenging and yet thoroughly relieving? Breathtaking in its insightfulness of our own ways and thinking and completely disarming as it illuminates the immensity of Jesus’ tender love for us.” Read on for more…
“Ultimately, Wilkin's approach to the Ten Commandments as tools for transformation offered me a spiritual anchor during this period of change. Her invitation to see these ancient words as a source of delight gave me daily practice for finding peace and purpose in my new environment. Through this book, I learned to see my challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities for growth and deeper faith.” Read on to get Jackie’s full take on this excellent book by Jen Wilkin.

We live in a post-Christian world, don’t we? That is what the media often tells us. The Christian faith belongs to the past and anyone still holding to it is backward and old-fashioned. However, Glen Scrivener shows how values we hold dear like consent, compassion, equality, science, freedom, progress and enlightenment, all flow naturally from the person and work of Jesus Christ. Read on for Claire Reynolds’ review of this excellent book.
As you read the words of Jesus in the gospels or the wisdom of King Solomon, does it cross your mind how the Bible you have in your hand was formed? Tom Lane highly recommends ‘Scribes and Scriptures’ - read on to see why he thinks this is an important book for us in a world full of scepticism for anything religious.
Tim Farron recently gave a special lecture at week one of the Keswick Convention on ‘Being People of Peace in the Culture Wars’. Watch the recording on their YouTube Channel
In an age of polarisation and 'culture war', how can Christians engage politically whilst remaining faithful to the gospel? How do we run a different race - seeking to be loving and curious rather than fearful and hostile? How might our public square be transformed by people of faith living out the fruit of the Spirit? Let's be encouraged: with God's help, there is a better way.
