A Man at the Well at the Sheep Gate
by Roger Price
This is one of a number of monologues that I have written for use in worship or some other reflective purpose. This one deals with the events of the healing of the man at the pool by the sheep gate from the point of view of that man. Should you like this and like to have more of …

Journeying with Luke - Advent
by SPCK - Woodward, Gooder and Pryce

The Post Evangelical - 6 "Let me tell you a story"
by SPCK - Dave Tomlinson
6 “Let me tell you a story” We have already touched on the subject of postmodernism and we now need to look at this a little more closely. I have referred several times to the fact that the Western world is in a state of flux and that the modern world, stretching back to the Enli…
