Incomparable - by Andrew Wilson
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...
Gentle and Lowly - by Dane Ortland
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…
Ten Words To Live By - by Jen Wilkin
“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.
The Air We Breathe by Glen Scrivener
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.
Scribes and Scripture: The Amazing Story of How We Got the Bible by John D. Meade and Peter J. Gurry.
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.
