I have had a number of entries in my competition to guess what is the most popular post on my blog. Only one person has come up with the right answer, however, and it is not a blogger. So, I thought I’d give the rest of you a small clue, and 24 hours more to guess correctly. I can reveal that the post in question is about a Christian leader. Tomorrow I will announce the winners and reveal the most... Read more

The queries have started coming in. Readers are e-mailing me, wanting to know: Have I forgotten about the series of republished popular posts? What is the number one most-read post on this blog? The suspense is building up . . . !! So I’ve decided to launch a competition, offering four free new Christian books to the winners. The competition question? It’s simple.
