Our good friend, David Robertson (Free Church, Dundee) has written a review of Stephen Dawkins' latest book, The God Delusion . His review was posted on the Dawkins web page (initially on the front page!). The responses (most are vitriolic) are phenomenal. His second article has also been posted on...

My friend Chun Lai recently traveled home to Hong Kong and Australia to minister to his family after the death of his father. The invitation to participate in the funeral service posed some real challenges, as Chun explains: "The Lord gave me something to say when I was at a complete loss for words...
