Concrete Faith – Matt Wilson
Starting a church plant is daunting; there are so many twists, turns, ups and downs. Take the Eden Network highlighted in this book, 15 years and going strong. Concrete Faith takes us on a journey spreading the gospel in an urban context, emphasising struggles and rewards. Less hyper-spirituality, more hands on healing communities from Manchester to London. They will say “This land that was laid waste has become like the Garden of Eden.” Ezekiel 36:35. 4/5
The Fear Index – Robert Harris
Fear drives us to desperate places. Main character Dr Alex Hoffman makes his fortune working with a successful financial algorism which follows geo-political events of the world to make predictions on the markets. Author Harris, does well to make the reader sympathise with a billionaire as the main character. “The Fear Index”, lends itself to surprise, murder and intrigue. Unquestionably a page turner but will split opinion. More topically fashionable than timeless classic. 3/5
