The other day I sat in a plane and pulled Jen Wilkin’s Women of the Word: How to study the Bible with both our hearts and our minds out of my bag. It looked like a short and easy read, and sure enough I’d read the first half by the end of my Melbourne to Sydney flight. I finished the rest the next day, and realized I was holding a gem, and not just for women: this is a brilliant book to help men explore and understand God’s Word too.

hi Jean,
Love reading book reviews, do you have any lists of Australian authors on Christian matters? Although I do enjoy reading the international writers, I connect so much more with Australians (for obvious reasons).
Hi Rosie,
What topics did you have in mind?
David Helm has a good one on Bible reading - "One to one". Matthias Media books are generally good. Good Book Co is UK, but also often accessible to Australian readers.
Anyhow let me know about topics you're interested in and I will see what comes to mind ...

Love Jean.

It is quite sad that so many of our worthy sayings are from the Bible and the people are not aware of this.
