Enjoying reading Chad Van Dixhoorn's commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith, aptly titled “Confessing the Faith”. This is an excellent in-depth analysis of the classic/timeless 17th century doctrinal statement by which the Presbyterian Church is governed.

pickA marvellous account of the machinations behind the ‘Remain‘ and ‘Leave‘ campaigns for the referendum in staying in the EU and then of the infighting within the Conservative Party to choose a new leader following the resignation of David Cameron. It reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, and is utterly gripping.
