Back in the swing of things, this follows on from my October<\/a> and September<\/a> selections, after a break over August. I hope you’ll find something of interest here.<\/p>\n

1. Suffering and Singing by John Hindley<\/a>. I loved this little book about worshiping in the real world, an exposition of a great Psalm, and a beautiful little book on suffering.<\/p>\n

2. It’s not conversion therapy to love your body: a teen desister tells her story<\/a>. This is a difficult but important story from one person who has lived through Trans* issues, and yet doesn’t fit with the normal story. (As an aside, this website<\/a> is fascinating)<\/p>\n

3. What do the Eastern Orthodox think about being human? This was a question I wanted to engage with, so read\u00a0The Theology of the Body<\/a><\/em> by Larchet, which I thoroughly (if critically) enjoyed and have reviewed.<\/p>\n

4. Was Joseph a Pervert<\/a>? A great blog post engaging with an interesting question that has emerged from our American cousins.<\/p>\n

5. In Search of Ancient Roots<\/a>. This is a book that\u00a0anyone<\/strong> interested in church history\/evangelicalism\/sacraments\/history\/culture should read.<\/p>\n

6. The Biggest Racist on Twitter – and the ordinary man whose identity he stole<\/a>. This is a\u00a0brilliant<\/strong> bit of journalism over at the New Statesman. What do you think ‘people’ on the internet are saying?<\/p>\n

7. Think Friday – Adoption<\/a>. A post from the new Northern Ireland Evangelical Alliance blog, featuring a brilliant video with Malini Colville talking about the Gospel subject of adoption.<\/p>\n

8. The Introvert Charismatic<\/a>. This is a fascinating book, which I’ve discussed in depth on and offline, that is a helpful read for ‘introverts’ and the people who lead\/with them.<\/p>\n

9. ‘Just’ a ‘Tweet<\/a>‘ – but seriously, the Vineyard Scholars Conference is brilliant.<\/p>\n

10. The Cold Within. This is a poem I’d not come across before, but enjoyed at a conference earlier this year, and so reflected on in a recent blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
