Discipleship in a Post-Christian Age

This is an age where Christianity is no longer the assumed foundation of culture. Instead, secularism, relativism, and individualism shape how people think, live, and even approach faith. Many within the church have unknowingly embraced a shallow, self-focused spirituality that offers comfort without transformation. How can the church recover a robust, life-giving vision of discipleship in such a world? With a little help from C. S. Lewis, this book offers a way forward. Lewis's insights--rooted in reason, imagination, and community--speak powerfully to this modern crisis, equipping believers to engage both mind and heart. Through cultural analysis and biblical wisdom, this book calls the church to rediscover discipleship as an intellectual, imaginative, and relational pursuit--one that forms resilient, thoughtful, and deeply rooted followers of Christ. Whether picked up by a pastor, church leader, or everyday disciple longing for deeper faith, this book will challenge and inspire readers to cultivate a Christianity that is not only true but beautiful and compelling in an increasingly post-Christian world.

Giant

Historical fiction blends with the biography of one of the world's favourite children's authors, CS Lewis. Davy, a working-class boy living in East Belfast in 1908, is sent to work at the wealthy Lewis household. When he meets Jacks – the name by which CS Lewis was known to friends and family – Davy is captivated by his friend’s world of books and stories. Together the boys plunge into imagining and adventuring, and Davy discovers his own artistic talent. But when Davy is offered a job at the shipyard, and Jacks’s mother falls gravely ill, their wondrous days of make-believe seem numbered. Will they lose their extraordinary shared world forever?

Reflections on Scripture: Daily Reflections on Biblical Topics

"As a student and teacher of the biblical narrative for over fifty years, I have collected many sayings and thoughts from Scripture that others have found helpful. These reflections can be used for personal or group study to strengthen one’s understanding of the gospel and therefore prepare them to better articulate, defend, and live their faith." - Jim Phillips, PhD
