Book Review “Every man’s conscience is vile and depraved. You cannot depend on it to be your guide.” So says the preacher in Bob Dylan’s Man in the Long Black Coat. Here, by contrast, we encounter “the sanctity of every human conscience”. In doing so, we are introduced to people that we benefit from meeting, even when we may hesitate to give them our vote.

Book Review All too often we draw artificial lines around God’s sphere of influence in our lives (going to church, praying, etc.), the “sacred” areas – and the things which are of seemingly no spiritual benefit (work, hobbies, etc.), the “secular” areas. The result is we know God cares about Sunday, but what about the rest of the week? Does it have any purpose in God’s plans?

Book Review “I am not sure I believe in Christianity” or “I don’t want to come to church anymore,” are some of the words that Christian parents dread hearing. When they come there is a mixture of feelings: disappointment, sadness, failure and shame. These feelings in turn produce our own questions: “Where did I go wrong?” or “Why am I such a bad parent or such a useless Christian?”

Book Review The first edition of Bleeding for Jesus was published in the autumn of 2021. If you have read a copy, you will likely remember it. The contents are shocking, even if you were already aware of the story of the abuse inflicted by John Smyth on many of the boys who attended the Iwerne camps.
