There have been one or two blog posts especially in January that were inspired after reading sections of Michael Eric Dyson’s book I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King. 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 YouAt last as promised here is the first of what I hope to be a regular ongoing series of book reviews suitable for the readership of this fine blog. Timothy Keller is a name I was first made aware of in 2006. It was then that my interest in things concerning characters like John Piper […]
Read More DMCD Book Review: The Reason For GodAs I’ve shared before, I’m still reading at a progressive rate and it’s not unusual (as the Prophet Tom Jones once shared in song) for me to have a number of books on the go. I have something called a Wednesday book, which I’ve only tended to read on a Wednesday. (See how it works? […]
Read More Heart Warming Stories and Life Transforming TruthBlame MLK For This One I was reflecting on my reading consumption of late, and I must confess I’m rather pleased with how much I’m consuming.

The last 48 hours has been a good example of that, but I’ll keep this one brief. You’ll notice from time […]
Read More Reading – Keeping It PureWhen I started blogging back in 2005 it was something to keep me writing. OK to be fair, it was something there to get me writing more regularly in the first place. In those early days I was a bit sporadic in the entries and would go in fits and starts. As the weeks and […]
Read More State of the Blogs Address: Jan-Mar Review – Among FriendsIt’s good to reminisce now and again. I was just sitting here putting together the strands to various blogs and interspersed in all the writing and sorting I looked back on some of the earlier blog entries on this blog. It’s quite something reading about how I introduced my family and some social justice issues. […]
Read More Mentor Birthday and Other ThingsI went to the local library on Wednesday and in a move to shock and horrify people worldwide, I actually found some interesting books to take out!! The first really great thing about it was that I found two books that I was eager to read. One is the autobiography of Ryan Giggs. For those […]
