God’s Grand Game:

Divine Sovereignty and the Cosmic Playground

This is a 270-page book which I regard as my most significant contribution to the field of philosophical theology. It is the result of more than 10 years of study and reflection in relation to the divine sovereignty versus human free will problem. The book presents a thorough exposition of my philosophical perspective with reference to the Christian worldview and other views of God. The main premise of the book is that there is one God who is in control of everything that happens and He does whatever He pleases.

Christianity, Islam, and the One True God

This is a 240-page book which features a carefully selected collection of articles written by me between 2020 and 2022 on the subject of interfaith dialogue between Christianity and Islam. The book also includes a series of philosophical reflections related to the unity and sovereignty of God, as well as a section on spiritual encouragement.


The God Articles by Steven Colborne (book cover)

The God Articles

This 430-page book is a collection of dialogues, discourses, prayers, and poems, which I wrote between 2012 and 2020. The subject matter of the articles includes reflections on Christian doctrines such as sin, salvation, judgement, and hell, as well as deeply personal articles portraying some of the highs and lows of my spiritual journey since I wrote The Philosophy of a Mad Man.

The Philosophy of a Mad Man

In this 150-page book – the first book I ever wrote – I describe my turbulent spiritual journey (Part 1) and how I came to develop an extraordinary philosophical perspective (Part 2) that is causing many spiritual seekers to think deeply about the nature of God and the meaning of life. Originally published in 2012, this is a revised and updated version published in 2019.


Short Reads

Reflections:
Enlightening Insights Into the Divine Mystery

This 65-page book features twelve enlightening reflections on important religious ideas such as prayer, sin, judgement and worship from a panentheistic perspective. The book was released in October 2025 and is my latest book.

An Almighty Predicament:
A Discourse on the Arguments For and Against Christianity

This is a 70-page essay in which I set out what I believe to be the most compelling arguments for and against the Christian worldview. Expounding testimony and citing Scripture, I present arguments explaining why the teachings of the Bible are convincing, but also discuss the reasons why Christianity can be seen as absurd and illogical.


Discovering the Quran by Steven Colborne cover

Discovering the Qur’an

This is an 80-page book in which I offer a series of theological reflections following my experience of reading the Qur’an in its entirety for the first time. The themes covered in the book include the nature of Jesus Christ, the oneness of God, resurrection and judgement, and various other discussions concerning the similarities and differences between the Qur’an and the Bible.


God Willing by Steven Colborne (cover)

God Willing:
Bringing Divine Sovereignty into Everyday Conversation

In this 85-page book, divided into fourteen short chapters, I present a series of reflections describing how our use of language might evolve to better reflect the reality of God’s sovereignty over all events — an idea at the heart of my philosophy.


Finding Your Balance by Steven Colborne (book cover)

Finding Your Balance:
The 10 Key Ingredients of a Happy Life

In this 50-page book, I offer insights and advice on how to live a happy and fulfilled life, drawing upon experiences I’ve had through my mental health, spiritual and work journey. The book allows readers to take stock of their lives and consider whether there are steps they can take to increase their happiness levels.


The Only Question You Ever Need Ask by Steven Colborne (cover)

The Only Question You Ever Need Ask

This 80-page essay represents the culmination of a theological predicament that I have wrestled with ever since I first began to take the Christian faith seriously. In the book, I describe the single question on which I believe faith in the Christian worldview hinges, and I explore and answer that question with reference to Scripture and renowned theologians.


Big Ideas from Ancient Greece

This 55-page book represents a fascinating introduction to some of the most renowned philosophers of antiquity. For each of the twelve philosophers who are featured, I present an introduction to their life, a big idea of theirs that was influential, and a reflection on that idea from a contemporary theological perspective.
