The Rosary and the Bible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Holy Rosary is often perceived as a very Roman Catholic way to pray, even in danger of the ‘vain repetition’ that Jesus warns us about in Matthew 6. However my experience when I first started was that it was a powerful way to help me to focus on scripture and the life of Jesus, and an effective form of ‘mental prayer’, all of which should not be an obstacle to Protestants. I hope what follows might be useful for all Christians, although if you’re familiar with the Rosary it might make more s
The powerful experience of psychosis and mania (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can you imagine living in a world in which none of the people around you can understand your motivations nor share your firmly held beliefs, where those who love you often regularly try to incarcerate you against your will and force you to take heavy sedatives, and where you see and hear many frightening things happen frequently?

Hello folks. Just a quick update after I watched a clip from an interview with Christian apologist David Wood and I thought I’d share it with you.

So despite wanting to support my local cinema and loving the media of film, there hasn’t been much to tempt me to go there, and when I have I’ve been disappointed. I’ve walked out of a few films - The Devil wears Prada 2 (it was terribl

One of my most enjoyable jobs is proof reading a small evangelistic publication, ‘Good News Newspaper’, which I’ve done since 2014. I like the work because it’s old school, I get to check a pdf of a laid out newspaper, similar to how I learned the trade before the internet changed everything. I also affirm its goal, which is to introduce the Christian faith to people who don’t believe. But most of all I enjoy it because it includes lots of encouraging testimonies of faith and the work of God. Th
