Teachings on MP3

Content Development
I have been working for a long time on the idea of developing our creativity with God in a more tangible way. This seven part teaching goes into the details of that process from a story telling point of view, but the same technique could also be used for other creative processes in the arts and media.

Some great reading

Wise Blood

Flanery O’Connor is one of the great writers of the last century. As a Christian, she had a profound view of her craft and the place of fiction in binging out the key issues of life and death. Read the book, but even better, find as much as you can about her.

Sex God

An average book by an extraordinary person. Rob Bell spends a few minutes talking about one of the most important issues of our day; intimacy. He spends the rest of his time on clever analogies and historical pieces that drift from the potential of this theme (IMHO).

God’s Politics

The discussion finally gets going again. How to beat our swords into plow-shears by dealing with poverty. One if the best apologetics I’ve seen on the Christian engagement in politics.

What the Bible Says About Healthy Living

A fantastic simple summary that will add years to your life.

The Call

Os Guinness gives the best picture I’ve seen on understanding God’s role in our important decisions

Emotional Intelligence

Moving from IQ to EQ, understanding one of the most important aspects of our life and relationships.
