Pray for a Miracle

There is too much suffering in the world. There is the suffering that makes the headlines; conflict in Iraq and Syria or the Ebola virus for instance. Then there is the suffering that we don’t read about in the newspapers; the homeless woman in central London or the young man with cancer. Every day there… Continue reading

‘God: A Guide for the Perplexed’ by Keith Ward (book review)

I am always on the lookout for books that are gripping, stimulating, and moving (aren’t we all!). It is not enough for me when a book is clever. And Keith Ward’s book ‘God: A Guide for the Perplexed’ is certainly clever, but unfortunately not affecting in the ways that I am looking for. As the… Continue reading
