Newness of Life
Over the years I have given dozens of copies away of this wonderful short book. Newness of Life contains 30 Bible readings, along with a brief explanation and a short prayer. John Eddison has chosen key passages making this ideal for someone looking to start exploring God's word.
We Need to Talk about Race
Bishop Graham has also recommended this book: We Need To Talk About Race: Understanding the Black Experience in White Majority Churches. I have ordered a copy.
Where is God in a Coronavirus World
This short yet profound book in which Oxford mathematics professor John Lennox examines the coronavirus in light of various belief systems and shows how the Christian worldview not only helps us to make sense of it, but also offers us a sure and certain hope to cling to.
A Good Old Age
Associated with grumpiness, aches and pains, loneliness, and isolation, old age is not something we particularly look forward to or relish when we’re there. Pastor and Bible teacher, Derek Prime, himself in his 80s, shows us that there is another way to view old age. He guides us through 26 Christian priorities that we should hold to in later life. With biblical wisdom and practical advice, he helps us to navigate the unique challenges and joys that old age can bring. This is a book to dip into, meditate on and read prayerfully as you let the truths it contains gently transform the way you live your old age.
