update

My blog moved house at the weekend!  It was almost seamless, thanks to a friend who knows more about technological gubbins than I do. And certainly less stressful than moving house in real life.

Giving it Up

My new book has just been released. It's a book of 47 short chapters, so you can read one every day through Lent, or just read it any other time (it works as a stand-alone book as well). The theme is this: the idea of Lent is that you give something up - usually beer or coffee or chocolate. But if you really want to understand and know what the whole "God" thing is about, what you have to give up is much harder - it's your current ideas about God. People in the Bible had to do it (like Moses, for instance). All kinds of early Christians had to do it (like Gregory of Nyssa, St Augustine, Ignatius of Loyola, for instance). Various characters in the history of the Church have recorded how they had to give up the idea of the God they didn't believe in in order to become a believer. These and others feature in the book, along with some other Lent challenges, Bible stories and contemporary reflections.

It's available in various bookshops and direct from the publisher. If you click here to order it via the Amazon UK or USA links below, you will also be supporting this blog. Thanks for reading!
