I was lost for words when I finished this beautifully written novel. And I’m still struggling to find the best words to describe the power of this story. But the incredible thing about this story is it’s part biographical, part fiction and I’m left wondering how much of it was fiction. Judas Iscariot, the betrayer, […]
I’m often asking the Lord for answers. Whether it’s about what’s going on with Angelguard, prayers for people who are struggling, or simply about the fact I might have woken up feeling unwell. A day doesn’t go by when I’m not asking Him, “so what about this or that.” Do you do that? The extent […]
This is the second book I’ve read recently on holiness. The other being John Eldredge’s new one: “The Utter Relief of Holiness” Both come from the same precepts: why did Jesus come to save us? and why isn’t holiness talked about more in Christian circles? Both are excellent and should both be read. The two […]
I planned to share a post on ‘repentance’, which I will do over the next few days; however, I got struck yesterday by the “3 occurrences” nudge that I thought was useful to share. Have you ever found that a verse or a message appears 3 times in a very short period of time? Do […]
One of my favourite authors, Mike Dellosso, releases his new novel, Fearless, in May. Mike is a fabulous author of supernatural suspense, taking his readers on a wild adventure ride with gripping, very fast, and sometimes frightening, action. He typically explores how evil manifests itself in our hearts in terrible ways and demonstrates the power […]
“So what are you giving up for Lent?” As I mentioned in my post last week, often it’s this question that dominates discussions around the season of Lent. Yes, if the season involves “spring cleaning of the soul” (I like that expression), then letting go of our junk makes sense. Fasting is an important aspect of our […]
This was a thoroughly engaging story with believable characters, thrilling action, and a budding romance. Two aspects grabbed me the most. Firstly, Ronie’s ability to describe the goings on of military conflict. I’m not usually one for reading stories about such, however, Ronie is able to transpose the reader into the battle, the conflict. We […]
I hadn’t planned this post but on watching this video I thought it would be useful to share with you. I’d like to pray more and be better at it. Often I think there are some special answers or tips to being better at it. So I’ll buy a new book (or a few!) to […]
I’ve never given Lent much thought. For some reason, I know not why, I’ve thought it an outdated practice that Catholics observe. Typically, it appeared to be reduced to “what are you giving up for Lent?” In my overly judgemental moments I found it strange that apparently non-pious people chose to participate in such a […]
I thought I read a lot of books. Well, I thought I did. Judging by the many I people I see over various internet sites who read 100s of books every year, my number pales into insignificance. Oh well, I’m not really fussed by that. I’ll keep working my list and good on those who […]
