Was Noah a historical character or is he just someone in a story which probably has some quite important lessons for mankind? Was there really a Flood a global Flood or again was it some lo... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Defining moments: 11 of 46
It was a critical night forty years ago. For six weeks there had been an intense spiritual battle ongoing.

Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights What makes your life alive?: 15 of 52
This is a very personal story. It is part of my spiritual journey and testimony - yes, only part - but as one significant experience took place 39 years ago, I thought it expedient to put it down in back and white. What I share with you is real and it lasts! It brought me amongst leaders from various parts of the world. Thes... More..

Arts & Humanities > American Literature Da Vinci Code: Fact or fiction?: 8 of 21
Leaders must be in a position to answer some of the questions people put to us, particularly when it come to moral and spiritual matters. Those in position of leadership should be able to give an answer for the faith that is in them and do so with gentleness and respect but confidently and graciously. The book has been read,... More..
Sciences > Zoology The importance of fossils as evidence of evolution: 3 of 7
