Oh yes! My bank holiday weekend reading has arrived!. Really looking forward to reading Francis Chan's new book 'Until Unity' because it seems so key to where we need to be and to my new roles too.. So that's my Sunday reading :) Ps you can of course get your copy using the @bookshop_org below and support Unicorn Tree Books (which does very much need people's support at this time) https://ift.tt/2PLm3i0 And then Heisers Angels & Demons are on the bank hokduay Monday list (rain forecast so what better to do than dig deep into interesting and important subjects! His Unseen Realms was a stunning read and I'm really looking forward to these deeper dives into two specific and challenging aspects of the unseen realms that are so often mixed up with later theologies and myths rather than being properly biblically considered)... Both these can be ordered from Unicorn Tree Books too (ebook version of angels available here https://ift.tt/3nLdDUf and don't forget to choose us as your bookshop of choice just after the sale to help support us! So yep that's me sorted for my weekend reading :) https://ift.tt/1TEBPlr #booksaremybag #books #reading #bankholidayweekend #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness #theology #faith

Of course with a new job comes new books to read, though some of it actually works well for all the other roles too, so that's my Sunday sorted... Especially given its Church by Nature tomorrow too which will be a zoom of fresh air 😉 But I have survived my first full on 4 day week of CTAL mornings and TL-AF afternoons... A few extra meetings for other stuff involving my Cycling UK trustee role and reopening my shop in there made it more complicated than it will normally be going forwards (needed to add in some evenings for TL-AF work to hit my targets), and then of course today is LSP (as are Friday evenings and a couple of others too).... But all in all I can say I feel happy with how its gone and am looking forwards to next week which has lots of really good meetings for all the roles, and see's Unicorn Tree Books reopen on Thursday with the amazingly capable Eunice in place, and final prepping for the amazing Lincoln Street Pastors to get back out and on the streets too :) Yeah it felt full but not burdensome, complex but not chaotic, but above all it felt fulfilling and there's a lot in that that talks of answering the call. #newjob #transformlincoln #churchestogetherinalllincolnshire #faithcalled #everydayvocation #missionenabler #pioneering #freshexpression #streetpastors #books #christianbookshop #calledbutnotcollared #CTAL #TL-AF #lincoln #lincolnshire

Two very different books came across the desk of Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market this week... And I have been moved by both bevause both talked to my spirit and my soul. The Prophetic Warrior by Emma Stark was the book that held the words I needed to hear at this time and in this place... It was in itself to me like the very words of a prophet speaking personally into my life - both convicting me on one level and confirming me on another, calling me to obedience and action and restoring my soul and my faith in what I am called to be in and of myself. Its a brilliant book that is both testimony, handbook, and prayer book - and a reminder that when the God of life calls you need to listen, stand firm, have faith and reach out. Then after that 'into the tangled bankv was a beautiful book that again reminded me I'm not alone in my love for the urban and wilder nature spaces, that in those places too is blessing and healing (although it doesn't use those words) that so many of us know but perhaps wouldn't articulate, but the author has done an amazing job of articulating the small everyday ordinary and sublime encounters so many of us have with nature. Both are in stock now at Unicorn Tree Books in Lincoln Central Market and I'd really appreciate it if you wanted to support this small independent bookshop by purchasing them from us - we really do need support at this time. See you all soon!
