People visit libraries looking for almost everything—from gripping whodunits, to lift-the-flap picture books, to niche local history, and endless wartime romances. But if a member of the public were wanting to find out about the Christian faith, would your local library have a book that could help?... continue reading

I have.
I’ve felt like no one in the world knew who I was. I’ve felt like I had to be someone I’m not. I’ve felt like, no matter who I was, no one would care.... continue reading
I grew up a reading kid.
I was one of those rare dorks who, in my spare time, preferred to read business management books rather than spend a weekend at the lake with friends. And while that may have been just a LITTLE extreme, I’m still glad for my time spent with my nose between the pages in school.... continue reading
Have you ever felt like a faker? Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allow us to paint beautiful pictures of our lives. But many of us feel like fakers. If people really knew who we were, what would they think? Would they still care?... continue reading
One of the most forgotten, most crucial words of the Christian life is “together”. And it’s a word that’s frequently forgotten when it comes to evangelism—so often it’s seen as a sort of solo mission. But Christians are made to work together.

I had been feeling very low for a year, and knew the reason why - but then we all feel like that sometimes, don’t we? –yet, that I had ‘clinical depression’ had never occurred to me.... continue reading
I think this is quite a popular view, and one that’s particularly popular in multi-faith, multi-cultural societies.
There’s a story which is quite old, which I find quite helpful just to think through some of the issues. It’s about some blind men and an elephant.
And each of the blind men encounters the elephant at different points, and then has a different idea about what the elephant is like. So the man who’s holding the trunk says: “The elephant’s like a snake.” And the guy holding the leg says: “No, the elephant’s not like a snake, elephants are like trees.” And the guy who’s holding the tusk says: “Well you’re both wrong, because an elephant is like a spear.”
And so it goes on, everyone holding a different part, whether it’s the ear or the side or the tail— everyone’s coming up with a different view. ... continue reading
