I had heard a lot about Bart D. Ehrman before I picked this book up. As a Christian student at Bible College, here in the UK, I was advised very much against reading his work. It was said that because Mr Ehrman is an atheist, that this will have affected his judgement of the biblical … Continue reading Book Review: Heaven and Hell
Maybe you have already heard it, maybe you haven't. A good few months ago I was on The Graceful Atheist Podcast (you can listen to it here). I have known David for a while and I really enjoy our chats when we manage to have them. For this one episode, I managed to tell my … Continue reading The Graceful Atheist Podcast

Things have been fairly tough for me recently. I mean, I am writing this on my 31st birthday, at the end of my tether with my children and feeling down about the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow to a job that I am really not enjoying right now. I know these … Continue reading Doubting the doubt…
'The Beloved Classic on Christian Belief', that subheading says it all really. I used to love C. S. Lewis, the way he writes and his unique ability to draw a metaphor that fits with what he is saying fantastically. Who am I kidding, I still do love him. I recently subscribed to two new Podcasts. … Continue reading Book Review: Mere Christianity

That's a mere four days away - I am very excited. It has taken a … Continue reading The podcast is going live!
I often call myself a 'default doubter', finding that I traverse the side of scepticism far more easily than I travel the side of belief. As someone who was raised in a Christian family, I am sure you can imagine, this has caused a fair few challenges over the years. Christians all too often turn … Continue reading Book Review: Gunning for God
I haven't told many people about my gradual deconversion from Christianity to something (I am still uncertain if I can really give myself the title Atheist yet...). But I have been thinking a lot about why I am so reluctant to talk to people about my loss of faith in God. I think it comes … Continue reading Just stop engaging…
Books have different impacts upon you depending on the season you read them. As I read this book (July-August 2019) I am well on a journey of deconversion out of Christianity. I am searching for community and answers, and thus I have read and listened to a whole host of resources. I want to begin … Continue reading Book Review: Still Unbelievable
