How To Do Family Worship

I’ve always been inspired by the Jewish idea of a Shabbat Meal on a Friday night: candles, a special dinner and everyone sitting down, sharing faith and talking together. Unfortunately, my Friday nights usually consist of wrestling kids to swimming lessons, lost goggles, baked beans on toast a...

Christian Enneagram Books

I wasn’t an introvert until I took the Myers-Briggs. It was together, as a small group in a crowded living room, that we all took the test and discussed what our answers meant, where they were right and where they diverged from how we saw ourselves. For me, the test spat out the four letters IN...

The Sacred Art of Joking by James Cary - Review

If I had a quid for every time I heard the joke ‘A Christian without Christ is just Ian’, I might have enough money to bribe Ian back to Church again. Ok, so one big rule in The Sacred Art of Joking is not to start a sermon with a joke. But this isn’t a sermon. So, hopefully, I’m off the...

Long Story Short by Andy Frost - Review

You are always surrounded by stories. Like air, they fill you, sustain you, permeate every aspect of your life in unseen ways. But the stories we choose are not always the best ones for us. There is a bigger narrative to become part of, and that journey from the small stories we chase to the...

People say those who talk about the children they have lost are brave...and yes, without question anyone who survives baby loss is indeed brave, but they aren't brave for talking about their child, they are simply being a parent.
