March has been a good month for reading – here are ten highlights.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Interested in The Walking Dead? Even if you aren’t, you probably know people who are. Danielle Strickland has written a great book about this. Read my review of\u00a0The Zombie Gospel<\/em><\/a>!<\/li>\n
  2. Why I Rarely Listen to Recorded Sermons – by Eddie Arthur<\/a>. Great blog post, which I think invites us to reconsider the ‘point’ of sermons.<\/li>\n
  3. Discerning the Dawn – N. T. Wright’s Gifford Lectures<\/a>. A great way to spend time – listening to one of the worlds best New Testament scholars talk about the future.<\/li>\n
  4. Dear John… – by Terry LeBlanc, Mi\u2019kmaq\/Acadian<\/a>. A fascinating, sobering post that taps into some important conversations on race, colonialism, reconciliation and so on.<\/li>\n
  5. I’m not normally one to recommend reviews – but my friend Robin Ham has written a beautiful review of Mike Ovey’s last book<\/a>,\u00a0The Goldilocks Zone<\/em>. My review here.<\/li>\n
  6. My former colleague Juliet wrote a great post – ‘Five Books Every Girl Should Read<\/a>‘. Includes the excellent\u00a0Scars Across Humanity<\/em> by Elaine Storkey.<\/li>\n
  7. Michael Ots, the university evangelist, has written a great little reflection on apologetics: ‘A Tale of Two Unis<\/a>‘. Well worth reading if you are involved with student mission, apologetics, culture, and so on.<\/li>\n
  8. Who will protect Nigeria’s Northern Christians? This Spectator article<\/a> asks a question most folk won’t have thought of.<\/li>\n
  9. A Quiet Exodus – Why Blacks are leaving White Evangelical Churches<\/a>. A sobering, thought-provoking article. US-focused, but important for the rest of us to read.<\/li>\n
  10. This is a sobering article: The Tech Evangelist who now fears for our mental health<\/a>. Read this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I hope you’ll enjoy reading these. I should also say, self-promotingly, that I’ve started writing for a new thoughtful news website, which you can read about here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
