006: Of Faith, the Fathers, and Following Christ - Interview with Author LUKE WILSON
Manage episode 327015845 series 3314544
Hi folks! I'm very happy to introduce to you my first interview guest, Luke Wilson.
We talk disciples of the Apostle John, doctrines, and Dan Brown - and possibly get a little controversial in places.
I've always found Luke's blog, 'That Ancient Faith', very helpful and thought-provoking. Luke has a way of taking fairly complex theological ideas, unpacking them, and making them easy to get our heads around, and I do recommend reading him.
For those of us who are Christians, our faith is obviously central to helping us make the most of the seasons of our lives, and I hope Luke's work will help other people as it's helped me.
Hope you enjoy this episode, and finding out more about Luke and his work!

Luke's book 40 Days with the Fathers.
And here's a review of it.
Excerpt from review:
"Luke writes his book… in a way that is very conversational, so that the average Christian can read it and get things out of it. I would encourage my 13 year old daughter to read '40 Days with the Fathers'… I give a heartfelt recommendation..."
