Welcome friend,

Have you had a look at our latest offerings, on Fallen Leaders (concentrating on the one who never goes away - Mr Todd Bentley) and our short but thought-provoking piece on the Crucifixion, prompted by a comment from Kim (wife of Howard, Mum of Louie), making her debut at the dining table (where we do the recordings)? Over the next 2 weeks I'll be putting up four more conversations from that productive but meandering session - Searching the Scriptures, sanctification, 'doing Church' and avoiding condemnation -so keep coming back, folks!

The next time we meet in a fortnight's time we are trying something new. We are very aware that the Church has a real lack of good, solid teaching for discipleship, so we are starting a series on the Foundations of the Christian faith (a la Hebrews 6), starting with Repentance - look forwards to a lot of weeping and wailing (perhaps)! Another thing - we are planning to film this, to create our first TV programme. This is not as daunting as it may seem as, in our four families we boast two of the most experienced TV professionals in the UK Christian media. Not that I'm boasting, of course ...

Just over a month to go to the exhibition. Almost ready to send out the free tickets, SO CONSIDER THIS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO COME TO CRE FOR FREE AND MEET US! Just send us your name and address and we can send you up to 4 tickets, as long as you meander along to stand S8a in May and say hello to us!

At CRE as well as launching my new book we will be launching four booklets in the "Challenge to the Church" series. Titles are "Preparing The Way", "Idiot's guide to the Middle East conflict", "Darwin's Dangerous Legacy" and "The Stubborn Stains of Greece". More info soon.

Come now to www.saffronplanet.net and be blessed. Also drop us a line at contact@saffronplanet.net. And, most importantly, please pray for us, for resources and wisdom and buckets of dosh to pay for the ambitious plans we have to reform the UK Church (and for a couple of executive jets!)

Many blessings

Steve
