I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again…

Why do you come here?  What brings you to my blog and when you get here what do you like about it?  What kinds of things do you find helpful?  Is anything missing?

You may notice if you venture beyond the front page of this site that the resources page has altered a little to include an Amazon Store.

I link most of the books and resources I talk about to Amazon so it seemed to make sense to collect them in one place so you can click through to them and see what else I’ve been reading, watching, playing with and listening to.

The sidebar now also contains an Amazon widget with my top 6 recommendations.

[disclosure: If you click through and buy anything I get 5% in Amazon vouchers. Not that that's why I've added the feature. Honest.]

I’ve also worked out how to change the header picture so look out for some new ones over the coming months.

The movie of one of my favourite books is out today and with it comes a load of downloadable discussion resources for church groups.  Go here to get them.
