Uncontrolling Love
What if God is not in control? And what if, instead, God always expresses uncontrolling love?

God After Deconstruction
Deconstruction is hard! Bad views of God and harmful experiences lead many of us to deconstruct. But we’re right to run from the nonsense we’ve been taught and from those who hurt us. God After Deconstruction will not be welcomed by traditionalists. It’s not a book for people who want the status quo or who think conventional theology works.

Recollections and Reflections
What was it like to be a missionary kid (MK) in rural Africa fifty years ago? And how does that experience shape a person’s adult life on returning to the West? In this engaging memoir, the author addresses those questions—and many others—through the retelling of various childhood experiences and unusual adventures in northern Nigeria, along with a vivid description of life in a boarding school for MKs. He recounts tales of road trips and hikes, of snakes, baboons, and hippopotami, and of being caught out in a ferocious sandstorm . . . . At one point he visited a remote community that had never seen a white boy before! In addition, Tim Reddish reflects on the legacy of his parents’ missionary activities in the context of the recent devastation caused by the militant group Boko Haram. He also briefly explores important broader issues, such as the relationship between British missionaries and colonialism and the enduring theological influence of missionaries on the Nigerian church. These timely reflections bring a contemporary element to those historical missionary activities, making them of further relevance for today.
