Tim Chester on Life with Jesus

Every month, The Good Book Company make available digital versions of one of their books at no charge. This month (January 2025) it’s Life with Jesus: A Discipleship Course for Every Christian, by Tim Chester, which is available in exchange for an email address here.

Last year, our church bought each adult (100 or so) a copy of this book and we worked through its Bible passages in a Sunday morning preaching series, using the questions in the book in small groups during the week. It worked really well for us. It served as a great primer for newer Christians and a good ‘reset’ button for others who have already been round the block a few times.

Jennie Pollock on Contentment

Jennie Pollock, If Only: Finding Joyful Contentment in the Face of Lack and Longing (The Good Book Company, 2020).

I was asked to write a commendation for the above book – and was very happy to do so. Now that the book is out, I’ve pasted the commendation below.

‘If you’ve ever wrestled with the ‘contentment gap’ – the difference between our expectation of what life should be like and our actual experience – then this is for you. Here’s a book that draws you in and helps you feel like you’re enjoying a chat over a coffee with a friend. In writing that is thoughtful, evocative and warmly practical, reflections on Scripture intersect with real-life stories to point to the God who is not only there, but who is also good, enough, and utterly worthy of our commitment.’
