Paul Williams & Barry Cooper – If You Could Ask God One Question
I’ve had this book on my Amazon wishlist for ages, and my lovely sister bought it for me for Christmas. It’s something that I’ve been asked a few times this year on the various courses I’ve done at Church – If you could ask God one question, what would it be? I always struggle with…

Michael Mayne – A Year Lost and Found
Sometimes, a book comes into your life at just the right time, and this was so perfectly timed it’s untrue. I only picked it up by a random choice when I was browsing the religion section at the library. It stuck out to me for some reason so I checked it out. And it turned…

I’ve also mostly…

Lent Reading: Rick Warren – The Purpose Driven Life & John Piper – The Passion of Jesus Christ
For lent this year (as well as giving up chocolate again), I’ve decided to re-read two books that I’ve read and loved in the past. The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. This book is handily split into 40 sections/days (although I’ve started a bit late so I’ll have to double up for a while,…
