Pew Survey of Evangelical Christian Leaders from Cape Town 2010
I was privileged to be at Cape Town 2010. During the Congress the Pew Forum conducted a survey of the 4,000 delegates from nearly 200 countries. This was the most wide ranging gathering of Christian leaders in the modern world, the results have now been released. There were some amazing statistics that came out: 4% [...]

Books I have read: Jesus Through the Centuries
Jesus Through the Centuries: His Place in the History of Culture by Jaroslav Pelikan is not a devotional work, it is an insightful and valuable slice of intellectual history. Jaroslav Pelikan’s 1985 overview of Christianity’s founding figure, Jesus Christ, as seen through the centuries after His birth and death is a remarkable, readable account of just how [...]

Books I have read: The Gospel-Driven Church
Ian Stackhouse The Gospel-Driven Church has some unpalatable medicine to hand out to the evangelical charismatic church. The book starts with an unpleasant diagnosis: Falling short of its ecclesial calling in Christ, the church is instead going after “relevant” preaching; musician-led and emotionally fuelled worship; numerical growth at all costs, and what he calls “faddism” – [...]

Books I have read: Developing Your Prophetic Gifting
