All the Places to Go: How will you know? [book] by John Ortberg

Posted on March 19, 2016 by nickparish

I don’t know what your approach is to reading.  Sadly, my addiction to reading (or at least the time I devote to it) doesn’t quite match my addiction to buying books.  This means that I currently am reading at least … Continue reading →

I guess this comes across in many ways as quite a gentle book. It doesn’t ask a great deal, but neither does it shy away from challenge and deep questioning. There’s some useful and ‘real’ stuff on Christian life. You … Continue reading →

As a supporter of Urban Saints (Crusaders, as was), I get stuff through from them every now and again on what’s going on, what they’ve got planned, and the like.  They do a lot of amazing work with young people … Continue reading →

Stumbling Blocks [book] by Gavin and Anne Calver

Posted on May 11, 2013 by nickparish

I was sent a free copy of this book a while back, though there were no strings attached (just a ‘with compliments’ slip! ho ho ho).  I’ve been reading through it and I think it’s a fab book, so I … Continue reading →

Eyes Turned Skyward [book]

Posted on May 7, 2012 by nickparish

Okay, so perhaps you’ve detected a link here between the last two books I’ve read.  Well, this one is another MAF book.  As such, it has the downside of nurturing the wanderlust in me. However, I found this (like the … Continue reading →

Wings Like Eagles [book]

Posted on May 7, 2012 by nickparish
