Your Christmas reading sorted!
There’s still time to stock up on Christmas reading. Here’s my list for the year: I confess I have yet to read all of them, but I’m really looking forward to the ones I haven’t got round to yet. All of these can be bought or ordered from Origin Bookshop at Christ Church Woking as well as online.
The Air We Breathe by Glen Scrivener
This excellent book explores cultural issues we take for granted: justice, equality, human rights, etc. and explains how they are all derived from Christianity. A good companion piece for Tom Holland’s Dominion. We have often used Glen’s videos from Speaklife in our services - check him out on the podcast of the same name.

Want to get to know Jesus? Or help someone who has questions? This book will help!
