A bit of personal context might help before getting into the review itself. When I was in my early teens I […]
Read More DMCD Book Review: I May Not Get There With YouLast week saw the seventh edition of the Prayer Points that have been going on since the beginning of the year.

My friend Rob Simmonite also had this to blog on the situation. On the one hand it’s a time to be grateful for the sacrifices of those brave officers etc. It’s also, however, a chance to consider […]
