Pray for a Miracle

There is too much suffering in the world. There is the suffering that makes the headlines; conflict in Iraq and Syria or the Ebola virus for instance.

The first we will call the God dimension, and the second the human dimension (other creatures experience life in their own dimensions).

‘Simply Jesus’ by Tom Wright (book review)

My Christian faith is constantly challenged by the rational view I have of God. Nevertheless, I find myself wanting to immerse myself in theological writing, as I find discussions about Jesus fascinating, and there is no doubt that Jesus is such an important figure in human history; I feel enticed into exploring His life, death,… Continue reading
