This short book, Straight Forward Christianity is, written for anyone, who wants to know what benefits following Jesus can bring to our lives. I have tried throughout in the chapters that follow this very brief preface to hold to the maxim of John Wesley, one of England's greatest Christian leaders, and write 'plain truth for the plain man'. I hope I have succeeded in this objective but you the reader will be the judge!

How do we practice reconciliation in a world full of violence? How do we love someone at work who seems hell-bent on sabotaging a successful career? And how do religious people resolve differences when religious interpretations seem to lead to righteous indignation rather than reconciliation? We practice reconciliation, according to Michael Battle, by affirming that God is present and acting on that belief, even in the midst of something that looks...

During the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 crisis, streets were emptied, churches closed, and a relationship with nature developed in which questions to be asked again in light of the crisis arose: Is God present in nature? Is communion with God in nature possible? Is there a relationship between the God of creation, the God of history, and the God we worship in Sunday liturgies?

Why the Good Book Is a Great Read If you want to rightly understand the Bible, you must begin by recognizing what it is: a composite of literary styles. It is meant to be read, not just interpreted. The Bible's truths are embedded like jewels in the rich strata of story and poetry, metaphor and proverb, parable and letter, satire and symbolism.

Divine Providence is what the faithful refer to as the will of God.
Each component is presented...
