3:16

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Many Christians find journaling helpful, but sometimes a blank page can be daunting. In this book, David Simmonds offers us a different method. He has gone through all the biblical verses which are 3:16—chapter 3 verse 16. For each, he offers some context, commentary, and reflections, but then leaves the reader blank space to make their own application. A useful start, or refreshing change, for all those seeking to meditate on the Bible.”

Be Afraid

Arts & Literature

“Horror is a genre which divides. . . . However, whether it is something you think you know everything about, or dislike and avoid, don’t let either stop you reading this significant book. Joe Haward is a thinking Christian with a huge knowledge of the topic, who is able to help us look at a range of topics. . . . He does so in a way which does not exclude those who are unfamiliar with his examples, but which will be fascinating to those who are, and relates this to Jesus, who alone provides an answer, a radically different answer, to our violence, fear, and despair. This book has something to say to everyone. I commend it highly.”

The Ghost of Perfection

“I wish I had been handed a book like The Ghost of Perfection much earlier. Joe Haward takes some of the major themes both of the church and of wider society – mission, triumphalism, relationships and sex among the stimulating ten chapters – and has taken a fresh look at them with the help of a rich tapestry of thinkers from the Desert Mothers and Fathers to iconic films such as Inception, and with a range of disciplines including sociology and psychology as well as theology.” “At times it is a demanding read, and without doubt I will return to it to wrestle a bit further. At other times – in particular the chapter on trauma – it is profoundly moving. I can’t guarantee you will love it as I do. But I can guarantee you will be made to think. I recommend it so that you can make your own mind up. A masterly debut.”
