Gifting

I want to write a little about gifting. As Christmas approaches in our broken world, many people will be spending a fortune on gifts for their friends and family, without really considering their reason for doing so.

Christianity, Islam, and the One True God

When I read the Bible properly for the first time and surrendered my life to God during a stay in psychiatric hospital in 2007, it was a major turning point in my life. My spiritual journey leading up to that point had been rather chaotic — I had dabbled in yoga, self-enquiry, transcendental meditation, shaking… Continue reading
