Sacred Treasure
- Mark Prentice gave us some vintage Ulster preaching at All Souls the week after Easter – hear him on the reinstatement of Peter in John 21.
- Interesting and provocative Open Letter to Christian Creatives – read all the way to the end (HT Jam Cary)

Topical Treasure

- Amazing ‘luckiest soldier in the British army’- Brit soldier in Afghanistan escapes when a bullet flies through his helmet but leaves him unscathed!

Quirky Treasure
