Squawk Flap Thud

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I finished ‘Untamed‘ this morning, a fantastic book on missional discipleship by Alan & Deb Hirsch. Having been around these guys for so long and knowing them well, many of the stories and ideas were familiar, but I still found the book itself is an inspiring and challenging read. When do we ever stop needing [...]

The Vertical Self

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

Since I’ve known Mark Sayers I have been inspired and challenged by his incisive ability to analyse culture, and point to the achillees heel of the church – and more particularly my own foibles.
His first book ‘The Trouble with Paris’ did this in a broad sweeping way and his more recent book ‘The Vertical Self’ [...]

The Heavenly Man

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

This book has been around for a long time now, but I never bothered to read it. I did pick up the gist from friends – an amazing story of one man’s suffering and dedication to the gospel.
This week while at Janene’s I picked it up and gave it a whirl. My book selection lately [...]

OMCGs and Barbarian Faith – Part 1

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

The first 3 books I have read while on holidays have been Dead Man Running, No Angel and The Barbarian Way. The first two are stories relating to Outlaw Motor Cycle Gangs (OMCGs) while the last was a call to a wild and untamed life of faith. There has been some interesting and unexpected overlap [...]

Back Into It

Its the 3rd time we have done the January Busso trip with our friends from here in Brighton and this year we finished up with 10 different families dotted around the SU campsite.
We began these camps a few years back with one simple specific [...]

I am about half way thru Larry Crabb’s book Becoming a True Spiritual Community

and finding it interesting but also a little puzzling.
It seems Crabb has almost done an about face on the value of counselling and other similar practices and now advocates ’spiritual friendship’ and ’spiritual direction’ in [...]

I've Started Reading The Shack

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

If ever you needed convincing that bad press sells books then this is it!
I have read plenty of negative stuff about this book from the very conservative critics and I have also heard some very positive reviews from friends who have read the book, so I decided it was time to spend the $$ and [...]
