Why your conscience matters

Our time together in 1 Corinthians 8 yesterday reminded us that our consciences matter. If you were intrigued by this thought and would like to reflect on it more the book that's been written for you is Christopher Ash's Pure Joy: Rediscover your conscience. It's available here.

Our own Glynn Harrison has commended this book:
"Over the past few decades we have witnessed a revival of expository biblical teaching in our churches. Now we need a renaissance of biblically-shaped pastoral care and counsel which takes that Word into the furthest corners of the human heart. Of course we can still learn from, and integrate, the best that psychology and psychiatry have to teach us. But the pages of scripture rustle with insights into the human 'heart' and with 'cures' for the aching soul. Christopher Ash's book on conscience, full of practical wisdom and advice, is an important stepping stone toward realising this vision. I hope it will inspire and equip a new generation of 'doctors of the soul'."
