Some of you may have missed three “media” pieces that I’ve participated in recently, so I thought I’d share them here. 1. Blogtalkradio Interview This was my first ‘live’ interview. Carla Hoch, my host, was most gracious and I enjoyed the experience immensely. I hope I get a chance to do more in the future. […]
This is my new favourite Erin Healy novel. It has all the hallmarks of what we’ve come to expect from Healy: gripping suspense, characters grappling with their external world but also with what’s in their heart, and an insider’s perspective of the “thin places” where the natural and supernatural intersect. However, added to this novel […]
As longer time readers may recall, I observed Lent last year for the first time. You can read about my experience in a series of posts I wrote, starting with this one. So I thought I’d do it again this year. Why? Well, any practice that gets me to think more about Jesus and The […]
This is a series of 40 separate devotionals on focused on the power of prayer. Each chapter is only 4-5 pages in length so can be read quite quickly. However, most of the chapters have much to chew on and so I found myself meditating on many of the chapters throughout the day. I believe […]
I read the 4 separate episodes on ebook and provided reviews on each but I wanted to summarise my overall thoughts on the complete novel. BTW, I love the episodic method of reading a novel and hope it plays a big part in the future of fiction. Alice Ringwald (or is her name Eden?) is […]
We all desire acceptance and belonging. It’s a natural yearning that I believe God has placed in us all. Much of what we do in life from our earliest days as a child can be a result of this natural yearning. Ultimately, God desires we discover that only He can satisfy this deepest need. Found […]
I had the pleasure of featuring Ronie Kendig on the blog in May last year when Talon, the second instalment in the “Breed Apart” series released. Beowulf: Explosions Detective Dog, the final piece in the puzzle, has recently launched. Ronie was kind enough in her very busy schedule to answer some questions I posed her. I […]
As you are likely to be aware I do read a lot of books and I thought a good way of wrapping up 2013 was to highlight some of my favourites. Before I do that I thought I’d share some of my reading stats. (I borrowed this idea from Katie Weiland, one of my favourite […]
I studied a few Advent devotionals this year and this was certainly the most unique. If you’ve read any of Ann’s writings you’ll know she has a marvellous lyrical voice that is so powerfully evocative enabling the reader to join her in the scene she is describing. There are 25 devotionals starting with 1 December […]
He planned to divorce her quietly. What a good guy. He’s been told his fiancé, Mary, is pregnant. But he’s not the father. But the law provides him with an out. But rather than publicly humiliating Mary, Joseph decides to break it off quietly. Based on my various readings, most men, at the time, would […]
