Highly recommended!” via Raised with Christ by Adrian Warnock... Read more

I know that some people will tell you that it’s all about beasts, barcodes, timelines, trumpets and judgments, but they’ve missed the point. It’s... Read more

It is a real joy for me to lend my blog over the next few days to extracts from my friend Phil Moore’s new series of books that aim to get “Straight to the Heart” of the Bible’s message.

Allow Phil Moore to explain and then apply... Read more
