There’s something very soothing about Nouwen’s writing. His humility, wisdom and love for God are always reflected in his words. This small book is no exception. Even though it’s easy to read, it’s important to allow his words and the messages he brings to percolate in your heart, so don’t rush this one. The book […]
At the time Wagner wrote this commentary by his records there were already 1,398 commentaries on this magnificent book of the Bible. So he approached his version by way of emphasising two key elements of the book: 1. Power ministries, that is, supernatural acts of healing, prophecy, etc, and 2. Missiological issues involved in the […]
I find it difficult to fully express my appreciation for this wonderful book. It’s a summary of a series of talks that Willard gave in his final conference before his death in 2013 and features a number of conversations with John Ortberg who participated in that particular conference. Willard (and Ortberg) always leave the reader […]

I was given the opportunity to participate in Worthy Publishing’s First Look blog tour for Ted Dekker’s latest novel: “Hacker”. Hacker is the third installment of the “Outlaw Chronicles” which Dekker describes as follows: “THE OUTLAW CHRONICLES consist of EYES WIDE OPEN, WATER WALKER and HACKER. Although related through one common character, Stephen, they can be read in […]
I believe we reflect less on the soul these days, however, as Ortberg outlines, the Bible talks a lot about it. This beautifully written book helps the reader to understand the soul’s significance and how to care for it. It starts with an important and revealing analogy, one I’ve heard a few times, The Keeper […]
This first instalment in “The Quiet Professionals” series has everything we’ve come to love about Kendig’s writing: thrills a plenty, heart-pounding pace, solid character development, great military heroes, some crazy mad bad guys and a love story in a war zone. But in this novel, it’s wonderful to see how Kendig has excelled in upping […]
I woke to some very exciting news this past Saturday with an email advising that Angelguard had won the 2014 Selah Award for Speculative Fiction. The award was a great surprise and one that I am very honoured and humbled to have received. The Selah Awards are held annually as part of the Blue Ridge […]
“The process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others” is how Professor Mulholland defines spiritual formation. I’ve read a number of books on “how” to do this but this one perhaps provides the best outline with quality Biblical references. What I particular appreciate about this book is the recognition […]
This is short at 96 pages and is written in three sections, all of which are easy to read. But there is such powerful insight in the words Nouwen uses. I can read his work every day as there is such wonderful clarity around the understanding of the human condition plus he writes in this […]
