The Truth About Same-Sex Marriage

I spent most of my afternoon reading The Truth About Same-Sex Marriage: 6 Things You Need to Know About What’s Really at Stake by Erwin W. Lutzer. I think this is an excellent book that encourages all Christians to think biblically about a delicate issue. But it doesn’t just encourage thought – it encourages action. [...]

Did I kiss marriage goodbye?

I’ve just finished reading Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? Trusting God with a Hope Deferred by Carolyn McCulley. I think this is a book that every Christian single woman should read. And if you are married and have friends who are single, you should read it too, particularly if your friends are struggling with their [...]

Review – The Blue Parakeet

A conversation that started in the comments of this post lead me to reading the The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight. The book is not directly about the Complementarian/Egalitarian discussion. Predominantly it is about how to read the Bible, but the ‘case study’ he presents as an example of his theory is how to understand [...]

It’s Your Time?!

I happened to walk past this book in a book store a few days ago. Everything about this book makes me cringe. From the title to the cover, to the fact that it was number 7 on the highly questionable top sellers list at the book store. I know that Joel Osteen has a lot [...]

Blogging and anonymity

I’m currently reading The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight. Undecided on it at the moment, but I did enjoy these thoughts on blogging. Blogging may be the world’s most fascinating form of communication. Someone jots down their ideas, clicks “publish”, and those ideas instantaneously appear for the whole world to see. The world does see. [...]

You: an introduction

During my college break I have managed to read 2 books (almost) that are not part of my college set readings! YAY! The second book I’m still working my way through. Part of the delay is that I’m not enjoying it (for a few reasons) – but more info on that later. Good news is [...]

The Shack

I have just finished reading a book much spoken about and reviewed – The Shack. As I was thinking about what to say in my own review of it I discovered a friend who had expressed perfectly how I felt about it but done it much more elegantly than I could. Click here to read [...]

The Screwtape Letters

I have recently started reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis. If you have not read it, I definitely recommend it. It is a series of letters written from the devil Screwtape to his newphew Wormwood, in which Screwtape is coaching his nephew in how to successfully lure his ‘patients’ (mankind) away from the Enemy (God). I [...]
