Reflections on Food and Dieting

24/05/2019 | Fiona McLean

Most of us have a complex relationship with food. It’s linked to our identity—we define ourselves by what we eat, or what we don’t eat: “I eat organic food;” “I’m a vegetarian;” “I don’t eat meat.” We eat to comfort ourselves (chocolate, anyone?) or to punish ourselves (“I’m so worthless I’m going to overindulge”). Or we abstain from food to punish ourselves or to exert control over lives which can feel chaotic and out of control. We…

Book Review: The Sacrifice of Praise, Herman Bavinck

20/05/2019 | Kate Pass

In response to the very solid spiritual food that Dutch teenagers were reading over a hundred years ago, I’m now seriously considering how to raise the bar of his devotional reading and…

Many parents seek a one-size-fits-all solution. We want simple answers to complicated problems and we want them to work every time. Yet each family is different, each child is different, each circumstance is different. Our personalities vary, our temperaments differ. Each parent has their own sins, gifts and tendencies,

I couldn’t be more different from Jackie Hill Perry. I’m a man, she’s a woman. I’m white, she’s black. I’m from the wealthier side of Melbourne, Australia. Jackie is from a rougher area in Chicago, USA. I’m hetero, she’s a former lesbian. There’s a few differences, yet at the

Book Review: Walking through Infertility, by Matthew Arbo

02/04/2019 | Samantha Ho

“When are you going to have a baby?” The question about pregnancy seems like a natural follow-on after marriage has settled. As I talk with younger and older Christian female friends, I realise how varied the fears and frustrations are. One of my friends told to me how annoyed
