I really enjoyed this book, having often wondering and sometimes struggled with the questions I would be asked about Christianity and why it was important. One of the most eye opening parts of the book was the discussion concerning why natural disasters happen, especially in the light of the past 13 months. This book is well worth the read - not only for Christians but also for people thinking about the realities of Christianity and the implications of being a believer. This is one of the best books I have ever read and it was well worth every penny!!

A Short History of Nearly Everything is a book that is summed up perfectly by it’s title. I really enjoyed reading throught the dialogue that Bill Bryson has with different experts. Looking at some of the hardest, yet most fundemental questions that man has asked, Bill Bryson tackles it head on by research and a lot of conversation. There are a couple of chapters that I have held pretty loosely as theory. The book is good, and not all jolly, as it has a more serious side with talk of super - volcanoes and extinctions and the realities of the changing nature of our planet. There are several laugh out loud and revelationary moments in the book that make it well worth the read!!

Thinking for a change.- I am quite convinced that the ability to organise thoughts and the information we possess is one of the keys to effective leadership. John Maxwell clearly excels at this ongoing task. He is also a great advocate of each person making quality thinking time for themselves. That is a subject I run across again and again these days. It’s always difficult to set aside time for prayer, reflection and thinking , but John Maxwell’s book is a great encouragement to do so. Again and again he inspires the reader to effective thinking and the development of ideas. That dimension of leadership is not often stressed as much as it needs to be. John Maxwell has done us a real favour.
