Overview

Wicked sense of humour and astounding craftsmanship. ... Writing that refreshes. That's what Glenn Myers does with glee. Andrew Goh. The Christian life is mostly like being a sandwich filling.

Here's a guide: - Hearing wrongly from God - Shallowness, and how to get there - The art of prayerlessness - Learning good sense from the minds of small children - The shortage of spiritual heroes - The biggest failure in the Bible And much else, Romance, bad luck, bad luck in romance, finding yourself in the wrong church, child-rearing, and facing chronic illness - all can make God seem far away and the Christian faith unreal. Or they can be the stuff from which hope and character are built. Welcome to the sandwich.

Writing that refreshes. That's what Glenn Myers does with glee. It may not appear in the immediate but you would be halfway through the second cup before you realize you have drunk deeply from his wicked sense of humour and astounding craftsmanship. Here is a wordsmith par excellence. Often one would pause and remark silently, now, that's a good choice of word or expression . So, whether it is recalling a homely incident or an event from the international stage, Glenn is a master at teasing and pleasing. He has some strong views for such a genial-looking person. But he presents them cogently and persuasively, almost like a back-handed compliment; not forcing anything down anyone's throat. He is respectful of his readers and invites them for a congenial mental sparring rather than a knock-out blow. When he shares the Good News of the Gospel and spiritual matters, he comes across as authentic and heart-warming. Glenn has a powerful message and conveys it winsomely. Andrew Goh, Editor, Impact Magazine, Singapore.
