I got a copy of this book years ago at the Lutheran World Federation HQ, and I scanned through it here and there. But last week was when I got to dig into some gems. Sometimes when it comes to books the relevance of it comes more because we are at a different stage of…

Reconciliation: Mission and Ministry in a Changing Social Order
There are times especially in crazy times like this in Malaysia, one reads and reflects on a theme by a timely book. Schreiter’s book on Reconciliation does that for me. I’m still dwelling on a number of the insights raised from it, and in some cases haunted by what I’ve discovered. Here’s a book review…
Friends In A Broken World
My good friend Soo-Inn Tan has published an excellent book where I had the privilege of writing a blurb for. The blurb writing experience was interesting for me, because what I was interested was to communicate what was written in the book, and also highlight who the author is and what he hopes to achieve…
Would you like to be a published author? This might just be your opportunity to get your thoughts into print!
I’m not sure whether the above is my longest blog post title, but anyway, it’s all because of my friend from South Africa Dion Forster. Read on .. * * * I like to initiate new projects, and I like it even more when these projects help to develop the people who participate in getting…
The Modern Theologians
Here I am in STM, Seremban doing what I should have done a long time ago. That is, focusing on my research, reading, reflection and writing. But better late than never, right? I came across this updated edition of the book in the library because I was looking for a one volume quick overview which…

I’m genuinely excited about "listening" through The Bible Experience Audio Bible. Glad Sounds finally has the Complete OT and NT version. I’m planning to listen to it with the order suggested by The Books of the Bible (.The Order of The Books )
Systematic Theology: Perspectives from Liberation Theology
It’s been a while since I posted up some books that I have been reading. And there is still so much I need to catch up with whether it’s for my Masters (which is stuck in transition), book chapters or articles I owe people. So, I thought I’ll try and get into the groove with…
The Story of Christianity Volume 1
I must first thank Rev. Dr. Hermen Shastri for being the first who ignited the fire which warms me still about Church History. That’s why I’m pretty excited about teaching the Lutheran Bible Training Institute (LBTI) Church History Course I starting on March 11, Every Tuesday 8pm at Bangsar Lutheran Church (alternative transitional BLC experiment…
Tokens of Trust: An Introduction to Christian Belief
I’ve got two more chapters to finish for this excellent 160page book, Tokens of Trust: An Introduction to Christian Belief. This will be the first Archbishop Rowan Williams book I finished reading 🙂 (I’ve managed to read a few articles and speeches here and there) I don’t have much time to blog about it more…
Signs of Emergence: A Vision for Church That Is Always Organic/Networked/Decentralized/Bottom-Up/Communal/Flexible/Always Evolving (I)
I have a confession to make. 🙂 I find these cool long subtitles like “A Vision for Church That Is Always Organic/Networked/Decentralized/Bottom-Up/Communal/Flexible/Always Evolving” quite sexy … With that off my chest, I think it’s time to share some of the books which have caught my attention the past year. Now, craze right now perhaps is…
