Christians: The Urgent Case for Jesus in Our World, by Greg Sheridan (Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2021). [...]

How do sexual mores affect a civilisation? Here are two books that closely examine the worldwide historical link between sexual promiscuity and civilisational collapse. Amidst a mild internet debate, I made a Google search regarding the connection between sexual freedom and societal health throughout history. [...]

Mahlburg and Marsh, two lovers of HIS-story, have chronicled the golden thread of God, as it has woven through time. The weft and warp of HIS-story is creating a garment fit for a King. A fractal design. Revival may appear, from our human perspective, partly [...]

Very wise words by Lewis on the place of emotion. Because C.S. Lewis was such a deep thinker and so widely read, he was able to offer incisive and wise words about all sorts of things, including those things he may not have yet experienced. [...]

How should we live in the face of impending doom? Just how should we live if we thought our present way of life was all but finished, with a dark and uncertain future just around the corner? If we knew almost certainly that everything was [...]

Os Guinness discusses the lateness of the American hour. Nothing lasts forever. People come and go, and nations come and go. Sadly, once free, democratic and prosperous nations can lose all that and devolve into something much different. The old saying holds: ‘Eternal vigilance is [...]

The new and now complete three-volume biography of C. S. Lewis is a must-read. Given that the last of a three-volume biography of Lewis is now available, let me speak to this terrific set. I refer to the just completed trilogy of works by Harry Lee [...]

Tremendous advice from the great C.S. Lewis. When one thinks of Christian apologetics, the name of C.S. Lewis instantly springs to mind. He certainly was one of the most important and influential apologists of last century, and his impact is still being fully felt today. [...]

The desire to be left alone is quickly being denied us by the ever-expanding state. If you have ever seen the first of the Rambo films (First Blood), you will know that a Vietnam War vet who just wants to be left alone is harassed [...]

Is this book destined to become a classic in the literature on the Australian Christian experience? Does it so richly communicate the presence of God that the reader is raised above the conviction that we have here testimony only to the intellectual ability of the [...]

To quote the great Professor Stuart Piggin, Australia has a missing story. And that story needs to be told. For decades, secular historians have neglected the profound impact that Christians, Christian ideas and Christian institutions have played in the development of modern Australia. In reality, [...]

As always, Chesterton offers us sage advice. No, I don’t mean we should seek to sit on the fence where G.K. Chesterton used to live. I am not even sure if there is a fence there. What I am referring to here is a very [...]

Billy Graham was a man who felt the hand of God and the power of the Holy Spirit mightily. He had a deep awareness of the continual and pressing need for the Church to submit to Christ’s Lordship in order to experience spiritual revival. In [...]

The public arena is not neutral -- rival religions are competing for hegemony. We are told -- at least in theory -- that in the West all points of view are welcome, and they can be argued for in public forums. This may have been [...]

A culture based only on feelings and sensations is a doomed culture. Civilisations used to be based in good measure on reason and mental and moral clarity, on rationality and common sense. Sadly, most of that has been swept away in the West and we [...]

An excellent exegesis of how Scripture speaks to us of the conditions in which revival may flourish, as well as what may impede the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Amongst many conservative Protestants today -- be they Reformed, Evangelical or even Pentecostal [...]

Kurt and Warwick’s new book on Australian revivals is due for release later this month. Australia is a nation forged in the furnace of revival. After taking a year to research Australia’s spiritual awakenings, this is the inescapable conclusion we have come to. Warwick and [...]

A great saint with a great mind and a great heart has recently passed. I was not going to pen a piece on this great man’s passing, since a number of good pieces are already appearing on him and his ministry. The New Testament scholar [...]

We must read -- or re-read -- these three crucial volumes. Yes I know, calling a recent book -- or a recent anything -- classic can be a risky thing to do. After all, usually we reserve the term ‘classic’ for something that has stood [...]
