World-Changing Christianity

A while back I read the book Whose Religion is Christianity by Lamin Sanneh, a difficult but rewarding look at the explosion of Global Christianity in the non-western (post-secular) world. I never got round to posting my thoughts on the subject, but this article from the Canadian National Post echoes a lot of what Sanneh [...]

Peter Pan In Scarlet

I was looking forward to reading this book as the original Peter Pan story is legendary, providing us with well known and much loved characters. It was always going to be difficult to follow up such a widely regarded novel 100 years after it was published! As the Description says: In August 2004, the Special [...]

Birthday

It’s been a busy few weeks and I’ve not had much time to post my thoughts here, but I just had to say thank you to all the people who made my Birthday so special earlier this week (27 if you’re wondering). I was working all day and Kirsty had to work late so I [...]

Babies!

Ever since we got married young at the age of twenty, other people have expected Kirsty and I to start producing babies rather quickly. I must admit, I do get a bit of a kick out of proving them all wrong! Perhaps the funniest moment was when my nan approached Kirsty one Sunday morning with [...]
