New book back from the printers and review copies have been sent out. Got following response from David Pawson (one of my heroes), a lot better than his response from my first draft, sent many moons ago.
This time he said: “I really enjoyed reading it. You are the master of epigrams, full of Jewish wit and humour, which I love. These keep you reading and make the whole interesting. It’s so important to add gravy to the meat and you are a good chef. I hope this book will reach those who need it most though I fear they will be irritated, if not infuriated, by your dismissal of so many of their heroes!”
Epigrams eh? Now where's my dictionary??!!!

At last I'm now free to wrap my mind around the next book - How The Church Lost The Life ... and how it can find it again. This is the book I've always wanted to write, but I'm having trouble getting started. The general theme is this:
"To understand the Hebraic mindset of Jesus and the first Apostles and to live your Christian life accordingly"
In this book, one thing I want to address is a list of things that, I think, are wrong with the modern church e.g. why so many denominations? Then I'm going to try and systematise them and pass them through a "Hebraic" filter. That's the general idea, anyway ... how I'm going to do this is going to have to be the result of much prayer!
Feedback would be apprecaited here ... what are your bugbears about today's Church? What are the main problems, do you think? Could do with some help here ...

Well the second book (How the Church lost The Truth) is with the printers now and I'm planning for a series of book launches on the following dates:
Friday September 10th : Tree of Life Fellowship, Ilford, Essex UK - 8pm
Sunday September 19th: Clayhall Baptist Church (as above) - 11am
Saturday September 24th: Reshet meeting, Leicester
More details will follow. Do you want me to speak at your Church / fellowship? I'm looking at planning an Autumn schedule and will even "cross the pond" to the good ol' USA if there's interest. Contact me at steve@saltshakers.com if this tickles you.
Watch this space in August for a series of short video blogs on the new book.

Hello everybody. Welcome to my new blog. Not sure how this one will pan out, whether I will have the time and energy to keep going or whether it will peter out like the last one. The idea is that this blog will accompany my thoughts while I write the third book in the "How the Church ..." series and there may be requests for information, testimonies, help etc on the way, so keep watching.
The first book, "How the Church lost The Way ..." is being launched this weekend in the USA by my lovely American publisher, the dashing Steve Spillman of True Potential Publishing (www.tppress.com). He is exhibiting at the International Christian Retail Show in Louisiana. Why not drop in and make him smile by ordering thousands of books :-)
Here's the latest promo for the book. If you are in the USA and want to order copies, you can do so here.
