The Trinity is a subject at the heart of the Christian faith, but is also one which we as Christians probably have least understanding of.
Thinking through the the subject can take us closer to the triune God who is the foundation of what Christianity is all about, exciting us about who our God is.
Tim Chester's Delighting in the Trinity sets out the Biblical case for the Trinity in a clear and easy to understand way. Chester has an engaging manner of writing and doesn't get bogged down in loads of detail. The short chapters avoid the subject becoming too dry and allows non-theologians access to the truths of this very important subject.

A new baby is a wonderful gift from the Lord, bringing joy and thankfulness. But he or she comes with a lot of extras – sleepless nights, constant nappy changing, feeding routines, oodles of laundry, and suddenly it takes at least half an hour to get ready to leave the house.
In the middle of all of this, normal routines can go out the window. Even a daily shower begins to feel like a luxury.
So how does this affect Christian mums? It can be very difficult to get to church; then when you do, you’re often in a back room trying to feed or change your baby, and then settle them back to sleep. At the end of a service you’re so tired you just want to get home. All of which makes it difficult to get regular teaching or Christian fellowship.... continue reading
God loves his children very much. Wherever we are he will show us grace and mercy because that's his nature. If we are in him we can be safe in the knowledge that we will be forgiven whatever our transgressions.
But those wonderful truths are intimately related to another aspect of his character. We see many times over in the Bible that our wonderful, merciful God is also a God who punishes sin. As sinners we have, time and again, disobeyed God and ignored his authority. And God cares about justice, sin and wickedness - it's part of his love for us.
The ultimate punishment of our sin, but also God's greatest demonstration of his love, came when he punished Jesus on the cross in our place.
As Christians, God's punishment of sin can sometimes be a difficult area to get our heads around. Non-Christians can struggle even more. Just Love by Ben Cooper is written with non-Christians and Christians with questions in mind and helps us all get to grips with a God who must punish sin.

On Wednesday I wrote my reflections on the Courageous Men Conference in Cwmbran including how we need to be bold and stand up for the gospel. Scripture teaches that we should be strong and willing to fight for what matters. As such we should seek to emulate the heroes of the Bible who were passionate, courageous, uncompromising and spiritually solid.
So who are these heroes?
Obviously the greatest example is Jesus himself - it's impossible not to be impressed by him both as the cross-carrying King of mercy and the exalted King of heaven. All other heroes pale in to insignificance next to him. However there are plenty of other characters in the pages of scripture who can also get our faith charged up and pumping. Among those are David's Mighty Men (a.k.a. The Hard Corps) - elite soldiers serving their king with devotion and distinction.
Their stories are hidden away in some of the obscure parts of the Old Testament but these guys were the real deal. They lived, loved and fought with such intensity that they couldn't fail to inspire anyone around them. Such were their heroics they were rightly lauded as legends in their own lifetimes. But even today they still have lots to teach us about what it means to be true men (and women) of God.
Find out more about these inspirational men in Dai Hankey's, The Hard Corps. Read more and buy the book here for just £2 until midday Monday. Simply use code hc1113 at the checkout.
This offer is available on The Hard Corps printed book only. This offer ends at 12 noon GMT on Monday the 11th of November

Ed Drew, the children’s worker at Dundonald Church in south-west London, has written the following very helpful piece about how we can respond to Halloween.
Halloween is on the way, on 31st October. In all likelihood, all of us will either have children coming to our doors or have our own children invited to Halloween parties.... continue reading
Christians are people of the new covenant made by Jesus’ work on the cross. But what exactly is a covenant? And how does Christ’s new covenant fulfill all the other covenants that God made with his people in the Old Testament?
This is a thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well written book. It has a fluidity to it that makes it hard to put down! It is a thrilling read as it clearly unpacks the concept and significance of God’s covenantal relationships with his people through the biblical narrative. Above all though this book will warm your heart and encourage you spiritually as it helps you to rejoice in the God of the covenant and leads you to the Lord Jesus.
