Keep in Step with the Spirit – J.I. Packer

There are two ends to the spectrum when we think about the spiritual gifts and miraculous moves of God. At the one end we have the faith healer waving his white besuited arms in order to distract our attention from his outrageous, gravity defying hair, his wild unsubstantiated claims and gross mangling of Scripture. We [...]

Beautiful News – Matt Redman

Ba da ba da de… What, you may ask, is that melodious but slightly disquieting noise? That, my friend, is the sound of me humming a refrain from Matt Redman’s latest (but no longer new) studio album, Beautiful News. You see, Beautiful News is best described by the musical (and technical) term ‘poptastic’. This is [...]

Systematic Theology – Wayne Grudem

‘I like BIG BOOKS and I cannot lie…‘ If these really were the lyrics to that song (and they’re not) and Sir Mix-a-Lot was a Christian (and I have good reason to believe that he isn’t) then that song could well have been written about this book. You see, Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology is indeed [...]

Remedy – David Crowder Band

Ok, Let’s make one thing perfectly clear from the off: There are no musical skeletons lurking in my closet. Although, perhaps I should clarify. I don’t want you to get excited by the implausible prospect that one day you may open your large, oakish closet to be greeted by a multitude of all-singing, all-dancing skeletons [...]

ESV Study Bible

In October 2008 Crossway released the long awaited ESV Study Bible. If you’ve managed to get hold of it in the UK since then, congratulations – you’re one of the chosen few that managed to beat demand and receive one before the scheduled March 09 reprint. I too managed to get hold of a copy, [...]

Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist – John Piper

I begin by stating that Desiring God is an important book and is quite rightly regarded as a modern classic. Dr John Piper’s thesis through the pages of Desiring God and, indeed, his 29 years as Pastor for Preaching and Vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church has been to test and apply his hypothesis, adapted from [...]

The Reason for God: Belief in an age of Scepticism – Tim Keller

Timothy Keller’s book The Reason for God: Belief in an age of Scepticism takes an in-depth look at the reasons for and against the existence of God. The book is split into two sections. The first half of the book looks at a number of typical reasons why people doubt the existence of God today, [...]

Death by Love: Letters from the Cross – Mark Driscoll

Death by Love is a surprising, shocking, unusual and deeply moving read. For anyone who has ever heard Mark Driscoll (coauthor along with Gerry Breshears) preach, this is not in anyway surprising. Mark Driscoll is the Preaching and Theology Pastor for Mars Hill Church, Seattle; a church planted just over ten years ago and now [...]

Movie Matter

Movie Matter is a series of half hour radio programmes and podcasts produced at Trans World Radio UK. Each podcast takes a look at a different contemporary film and discusses some of the ideas and worldviews about our lives and God that are contained within it. The show is hosted by Phill Marsh, Jonny Evans [...]

The Holy Spirit – John Owen

Of all the books I have read recently, John Owen’s A Discourse concerning the Holy Spirit has proved the most challenging and most inspirational. John Owen lived, preached, wrote and served Christ during a time of huge political and social upheaval during the middle to late seventeenth-century. Owen was a prominent figure in both the [...]
