‘A Chosen Faith’ by Buehrens and Church (book review)

This book is an introduction to Unitarian Universalism. I’m always interested to investigate different religions, and I know an Anglican minister who recently left the Church of England to join a Unitarian church, so this (among other things) sparked my interest and I decided to buy an introductory book about the movement. Unitarianism refers to… Continue reading

‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’ by John Bunyan (book review)

I wonder how many thousands of times this book has been reviewed and written about and what I can possibly add that hasn’t been said before. The Pilgrim’s Progress is a classic of English literature and has been studied in classrooms around the world. Written in 1678, the book has been translated into over 200 languages,… Continue reading

Two Vital Questions

An English Preacher

A few days ago I was reading through some of the latest posts from blogs I follow and came across a lovely poem by a man named Leonard Ravenhill. I hadn’t heard the name before so decided to investigate. Ravenhill (1907-1994) was an English preacher and evangelist who spent the latter part of his life in… Continue reading

‘Unlocking the Bible’ by David Pawson (book review)

I came across David Pawson via a friend; the same person who prayed for me to be baptised in the Holy Spirit a few months ago. When I first saw his copy of Unlocking the Bible I thought ‘What on Earth is that?’, such was the hugeness of the volume and the unfamiliarity of the… Continue reading
