\"\"<\/p>\n

After August<\/a>, usually comes September. This month’s edition of ‘Top Reads’ includes a few things that I actually read previously, but couldn’t fit in a list of 10.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MORE: Distinct by Calvin Samuel<\/a>. TLDR? Great little book on holiness that is well worth reading.<\/li>\n
  2. Over at the Spectator James Kirkup asks ‘is the BBC scared of the Transgender debate?<\/a>‘. This is a helpful piece, in my opinion, that should have all thoughtful people thinking carefully.<\/li>\n
  3. Learning to Breathe by Rachel Newham<\/a>. TLDR? Beautifully written book about mental health and faith.<\/li>\n
  4. The September Editorial for Evangelicals Now was excellent, in my opinion<\/a>. Short enough for anyone to read.<\/li>\n
  5. Trans Activism and Intersectional Feminism<\/a> – this was a provocatively thoughtful blogpost. TLDR? Women don’t matter, according to some Trans folk. So should we care?<\/li>\n
  6. Adesanya Adewusi writes beautifully about the Prosperity Gospel – and what it means to move on from it<\/a> towards following Jesus. Great bit of writing. TLDR? Actual convert says that Jesus is better.<\/li>\n
  7. The Gospel and Social Justice – Fundamentalist and Progressive Distortions<\/a>. The Brilliant Michael Bird skewers some sacred cows at both ends of a spectrum\/debate. TLDR? Chill out and think, and be obedient to Jesus.<\/li>\n
  8. Race and Place by David P. Leong<\/a>. TLDR? A great book looking at systems of injustice, with the lenses of race and place the ‘way in’. An important little book.<\/li>\n
  9. A Right to Choose?<\/a> Over at Brephos, Dave Brennan considers the mandate for Christians to be involved in conversations around human rights. TLDR? Read this if you are wondering if there is a biblical mandate for the church to advocate on behalf of the unborn.<\/li>\n
  10. 40 Year Old Virgin? Kate Wharton, Assistant National Director for New Wine, has written this fantastic blog post reflection<\/a> on an aspect of her identity. TLDR? Read this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
