"Velvet Elvis" by Rob Bell.
All I can say is that every Follower of Jesus should read this Book.
Amazing, inspiring and so helpful in understanding what it means to be a
Disciple of Jesus today.
5 out of 5
"Humble Pie" by Gordon Ramsay
This was such a good read and also enlightening into the whole world of
the restaurant business. You can’t help but like Ramsay after reading
this book. Amusing and sad all at the same time.
5 out of 5
"Cut to the Chase" by Lee Jackson, Baz Gascoyne and Friends
Fantastic. I would have said this even if I was not involved with the
writing. Real, relevant and raw. Just what the doctor ordered and what
God is looking for. We need more of this for Men and Women inside and
outside the Church today.
4.5 out of 5 (Only because it seems arrogant to give yourself 5)
Watch out for Dead Men walking being re –released with new chapters and
a new title. ‘Cut to the Chase 0.5’ and also the Audio version of Cut to
the Chase.
Next year 'Cut to the Chase 2' coming out probably being called ‘Cut to
the Chase a Quicker look’.

"We don’t know what we are doing" by Adrian Chiles
I heard Adrian (sounds like I know him) speaking live on 5 live about
his new book. It sounded very good so I went and bought it that day and
I have not been disappointed. This book is really well written.
Adrian Chiles is the presenter of BBC2 business show ‘Working Lunch’ and
“Match of the Day 2”. This book is incredible. It has had me laughing
out loud and breaking down crying both which happened whilst sat in the
doctor’s surgery. Chiles is a West Bromwich Albion football fan and this
book takes you through the highs and many lows of supporting such a
team. But more importantly it gives you such insight to the personal
lives of the many people that Chiles has got to know that he has sat
beside in the stands or on the coach. Even if you are not into football
this will help you understand and empathise why people get addicted to
this sport and following their team. This is a huge challenge to any
follower of Jesus when you read the commitment of these fans.
