Show Me the Money: Dealing with Debt

Last week I was watching a BBC documentary looking at an area in Wales where people spent the most money on beautifying themselves. The programme studied men and women spending all they had (and didn’t have) on looking good. They had personal trainers, hair extensions, fake tan, teeth whitening sessions, and one guy even spent […]

Can We Read and Understand the Bible if We're Not Experts? (3)

A Book That Has the Skin of a Mole and the Bite of a Lion

I got given this cheeky little 126-page number this week by a visiting American. I didn’t know him all that well prior to his visit but I grew to like the big fella by the time he left. He has also made a friend of my girls for life after coming armed with Pretzel M […]

Why Are We so Afraid of Evangelising Our Female Friends?

A question that I get asked a lot is, “How do you engage women?” Unless you are one of those rare women who works from home, does all her shopping and banking online, and only talks via text and email then, in some way, somehow, throughout our everyday life, we are engaging with people. Some […]
