Thanks to Organic church for this book review … I think Glad Sounds Malaysia might bring some copies in 🙂 for a preview with the help of the review … read on …

Nowadays, it’s not surprising to first read the blog before the book, and I was first introduced to Conrad Gempf by Jason Clark. When I saw Conrad’s book at SUFES bookstore I couldn’t resist the temptatation to get a copy. I thought about it before – i.e. how Jesus always had interesting questions and the…

I remember mentioning about the book and the articles before , here. It’s a useful way of looking at the present scenario of cultural shifts and ongoing changes in our world. MPH 1 Utamahas copies .. I got mine there yesterday (and made my confession to May Chin later…) Here’s some quotes for tasting after…

As usual good books are hidden somewhere in those bookshelfs that just need to be “discovered”! I like these insights on spiritual renewal and much much more: ________________________________ Spiritual Renewal is finding…

I found this book hidden somewhere in the 1 Utama MPH bookstore. The price was good, the footnotes showed we had common influences (e.g. Clark Pinnock & Robert Brow, Brian McLaren, Lesslie Newbigin, C.S. Lewis, David J. Bosch, N.T. Wright, etc).
