Slightly<\/em> late off the bat with this – given that it is now May. But I hope you’ll forgive me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A\u00a0really clever, if offensive and confusing video advert, from Thailand<\/a>. See if you can guess what they are selling before the end!<\/li>\n
  2. A great piece of comment and web design from the BBC, charting the rise of Emmanuel Macron<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. I’ve long followed ‘A Queer Calling’, a blog written by a celibate Lesbian couple. Their recent post on Celibacy as a mature calling<\/a> is superb.<\/li>\n
  4. Richard Lints’\u00a0brilliant<\/strong><\/a> book on a biblical theology of being human, which I reviewed (due to be published in Churchman)<\/li>\n
  5. A brilliant book, called and about ‘Knowing Christ<\/a>‘, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading and reviewing.<\/li>\n
  6. A sobering and challenging interview-come-article about Rachel Dolezal: The Heart of Whiteness<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Probably my favourite Buzzfeed Article EVER – British Food, Explained for Americans<\/a>. Both hilarious, and probably quite useful for our easily confused cousins.<\/li>\n
  8. Ben Cooley, CEO of Hope for Justice, has written a brilliant book called Impossible is a Dare. Get a copy. I’ve reviewed it.<\/li>\n
  9. A great piece in the Guardian: Defend Tim Farron, a true liberal, even if it makes us queasy<\/a>. Essential reading.<\/li>\n
  10. Have you ever wondered if salvation as a Christian is about more than just me? Great little article over at Christian Today<\/a> by Freddie Pimm about his upcoming book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
