Book Review: An Introduction to the Apocrypha by Bruce M Metzger

January 6, 2021

My cousin got married recently and in true bookworm fashion, I have already borrowed a book from my new cousin-in-law! Since he and my cousin are theology students/graduates, I found an introduction to the apocrypha (literally the subject and title of the book) on their shelves. Like the title says, An Introduction to the Apocrypha… Read More Book Review: An Introduction to the Apocrypha by Bruce M Metzger

Book Review: How to Have a Better Relationship with Anybody by James Hilt

July 15, 2020

As someone who’s made her fair share of relationship missteps over the years, How to Have a Better Relationship with Anybody intrigued me when I saw it on NetGalley. It’s a look at relationships from a Christian perspective, and I found that it complemented God’s New Community and The Meeting Class quite well. While those… Read More Book Review: How to Have a Better Relationship with Anybody by James Hilt

Book Review: Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C.S. Lewis

July 9, 2020

I’ve read The Screwtape Letters a long time ago, so I was pretty surprised to find out that there’s a (very short) sequel: Screwtape Proposes a Toast. Of course, I bought this. Screwtape Proposes a Toast is a collection of essays by C.S. Lewis, put together by him shortly before its death. It opens with… Read More Book Review: Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C.S. Lewis

Book Review: An Unhurried Life by Alan Fadling

June 18, 2020

I’ve been reading up on business and distraction (most recently Celeste Headlee’s book Do Nothing) and for some reason, I didn’t think to read about how busyness related to Christianity; a glaring omission given that I try to live out Christianity the best I can. Somehow, though, I stumbled upon An Unhurried Life in the… Read More Book Review: An Unhurried Life by Alan Fadling

Book Review: God’s New Community by Graham Beynon

June 12, 2020

When my sister found out that my cell group is focusing on community, she recommended that I read her copy of God’s New Community, which she left behind when she moved to New Zealand. God’s New Community looks at various New Testament verses and expounds on what Church really mean. It’s not a building but… Read More Book Review: God’s New Community by Graham Beynon

Book Review: The Final Martyrs by Endo Shusaku

January 30, 2020

Rereading Silence at the start of the year reminded me that there are a lot of books by Endo that I haven’t read. There’s quite a lot there hasn’t been translated, but I found a copy of The Final Martyrs in the library and decided to make that my first Endo Short Story read (I… Read More Book Review: The Final Martyrs by Endo Shusaku

Book Review: The Lost Letters of Pergamum by Bruce W. Longenecker

January 27, 2020

In the spirit of embracing what bookstagram has to offer, I borrowed another book that I found on the platform. This was from BookandBriefcase’s post and I basically decided to read this after she mentioned that the author was a New Testament scholar who used what he knew in the book. As the title suggests,… Read More Book Review: The Lost Letters of Pergamum by Bruce W. Longenecker

Recap: Mental Wholeness and the Church Conference

September 15, 2019

When one of my friends sent me a link to this conference, I immediately signed up. I’ve talked about my feelings towards mental health and Christianity before, so I wanted to continue that conversation by recapping the conference and sharing some of my thoughts. Mental Wholeness and the Church is a three-day conference organised by… Read More Recap: Mental Wholeness and the Church Conference

Mental Health and Christianity Shouldn’t Be Complicated

June 5, 2019

Last week, my cell group had a pretty emotional discussion. Well, I say emotional but really most of it came from me/was me being emotional. Since this involves mental health, which is something I’ve been pretty open about here, I felt like this is a good place to process everything. By the publish date, you… Read More Mental Health and Christianity Shouldn’t Be Complicated

Spiritual Mentoring by Keith R. Anderson & Randy D. Reese

April 20, 2019

I got this book while attending a course on the teacher as a mentor for my Church’s Sunday School. The speaker there made a good point that kids nowadays can get any information they want from the internet; what they really need is to have someone they trust who can guide them. In this way,… Read More Spiritual Mentoring by Keith R. Anderson & Randy D. Reese
