Hodson is a marvellous book that gives a call for Christians everywhere to get involved in the preservation of our environment.

Books I have read: Do good lives have to cost the earth?
g Do Good Lives Have to Cost the Earth? edited by Andrew Simms and Joe Smith. Having a limited range of understanding about environmental issues I thought this book was excellent.

Books I have read: Stop the Traffik: People shouldn’t be bought and sold
Stop the Traffik: People shouldn’t be bought and sold: The Crime That Shames Us All by Steve Chalke is not a pleasant read but a necessary one. It is a heartbreaking expose of the growing industry of slavery around the world. Chalke is an expert on human trafficking, and Cherie Blair is the wife of former British [...]
