It is always good to read stuff. But it is quite difficult to know what to read, let alone when, so each month I try and share a few things I’ve found interesting or helpful – on some of the topics I’m interested in. This month includes Brexit, Truth, leadership, and more…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Apparently, the EU is an Empire<\/a>. But what would I know?! TLDR? Brexit is complicated.<\/li>\n
  2. Alistair Begg has a beautiful new book out called\u00a0Pray Big: learn to pray like an apostle<\/em><\/a>. TLDR? Great prayer primer.<\/li>\n
  3. Andy Bannister, who has a PhD in Islamic studies, has written a helpful post engaging with a perennial question: Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God<\/a>? TLDR? No, but make sure you know why.<\/li>\n
  4. I really enjoyed Daniel M. Doriani’s new book\u00a0Work<\/em><\/a>. TLDR? Important, theological and practical new book.<\/li>\n
  5. David Robertson has written a provocative but in my view helpful analysis of Mark Driscoll’s ministry<\/a>, based on a talk Driscoll gave back in 2008. TLDR? Vital reading for leaders.<\/li>\n
  6. VCUKI’s\u00a0The Cause to Live For<\/em><\/a> is a great conference – and now a book! TLDR? Bitesize chunks of great teaching.<\/li>\n
  7. Really interesting Fashionista article about celebrity pastors and expensive trainers<\/a>. TLDR? Does it matter what Christian leaders wear?<\/li>\n
  8. Paul Mallard’s latest book,\u00a0Invest Your Disappointments<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is an early contender for my book of the year. TLDR? Everyone is disappointed. Read.<\/li>\n
  9. Ian Paul has some, in my opinion, excellent comments about Richard Rohr’s latest book<\/a>. TLDR? Christology is complex and simple, and Rohr is wide of the mark.<\/li>\n
  10. Interesting article from the Marriage Foundation<\/a> about ‘No Fault Divorce’. TLDR? Probably not as scary as it sounds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
