  • I Said I’d Be Back
    David Napier
    As I started this book, Easter has just passed, the usual sermons offered, the resurrection of Jesus suddenly took on a new life (no pun intended): I wrote a small book on the crucifixion last year, and felt the need to write this one too, not so much as a follow up, for they are naturally very much interlinked - but if Jesus never died there would be no resurrection; no resurr...

  • Unbelievable gods?
    David Napier
    At just short of 70 I have been around too long to be bothered by people thinking I am crazy, especially when I ofttimes tell them of my waking thoughts. This one woke me at 5am: possibly because I started watching the TV series of Smallville, the exploits of the young Superman. Most ’normal people’ watched this many years ago, but I am not an aficionado of TV so wouldn’t have ...

  • Few Letters
    David Napier
    Whenever I read the bible, I automatically try to think of the verse or passage being read in today’s speak, attempting to see any parallels between then and now. Thus, if John was writing these letters today would he be self-publishing, using YouTube, TikTok or whatever was the social media flavour of the month? It is too ’easy’ to forget to think like this, yet, if there are ...

  • One Becomes Three
    David Napier
    DJ, as he is known to friends and family, or The Don by work colleagues (due to his knowledge and zeal in presentations and teaching) doesn’t particularly like the titles bestowed on him, but he does use them, as he has found them useful for setting up meetings and getting the attention of the press. His wife, Lady Arlene, would say he loves the titles, even though she doesn’t ...

  • The Burning Issue
    David Napier
    In discussion with some family members, there was no option apart from burial; when I started to discuss the issue further, the conversation was cut short - they had made up their minds and that was that. This is quite a common experience, whether believers or not. As will be discussed, I care not how I am disposed of, but as of writing this, my main ’preference’ would be crema...

  • Sonworshippers
    David Napier
    I started writing this offering as that strange yellow globe shone in the sky above Wales, a sight which is as rare as spotting a Dodo shopping in a local store! Ok, not quite that bad, but it did make me wonder how many of us worship the Son (Jesus) as much as we worship the sun. Logically or spiritually, there is no comparison to be made, but it helped me consolidate some tho...

  • The Heart of Preaching
    David Napier
    Apart from the fact that there are myriad books on ’how to preach’, including the famous Preachers and Preaching by Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones, this offering is more along the lines of what not to say or do, and what to look out for, to be aware of - from a preacher’s point of view as well as the listeners point of view. This offering is based on over six decades of listening, well ...

  • 1,2,3...Go!
    David Napier
    Why the title? It’s like the start of a race, which would be correct in more ways than one. Why choose only the first few chapters of Genesis? It is a personal choice, which for me is the foundation stone on which I base my faith. Theologians and fellow believers may say it shouldn’t be, for our faith should be based on Christ alone, or His incarnation, or atonement, or death a...

  • The Holey Bible
    David Napier
    Newsflash: The world of Irish Dancing was recently thrown into turmoil after the discovery of a book entitled Irish Dancing: Part Two - What to do with your arms. The book was found in a locked box in the basement of Marsh’s Library in Dublin, which contains many rare books and manuscripts. The librarian who made the discovery is on long-term compassionate leave.Ok, I have embe...

  • Forever Secure
    David Napier
    As is often the case, the ideas for writing a book comes from discussions with fellow believers. This book is no exception, except to say that the logical conclusion to the debate we had would mean that either party isn’t a believer! That is, if I believe strongly in the concept of ’Once saved, always saved’ (OSAS), and others do not, how could it be considered a secondary matt...

  • The Good Ship Religianity
    David Napier
    This issue has been floating around in my head for years (no pun intended) and have been all at sea with it (pun intended). I have briefly raised it in a paragraph or two in some of my other books, but once again, awoken at 5 am with the idea in my mind I started to write some notes. The Religianity isn’t a very good name for a ship I know - but ah well, it matters not - for wh...

  • Journey, Judgement, Jerusalem
    David Napier
    In other writings I have expressed my concern that Christian ’growth’ should be considered very carefully, as I do not believe it is what it seems. So often, Christians are willing to dismiss the scientific world in favour of scripture, yet it is in the world of science, that everything is checked, doubled checked, and checked again - so why not scripture and Christianity? Is i...

  • Unafraid to Doubt
    David Napier
    As is often the case, more so over the past year or so, book ideas ’pop up’ in my mind when conversing with friends. This one is no exception. I was asked what I thought about doubt, so I said my piece, and the book title immediately sprung to mind. Why are some seemingly afraid to voice their doubts? Why do some keep them under wraps? Both questions highlight a major weakness ...

  • Wholly spirit
    David Napier
    Why the cover photo? As spirits are invisible it was difficult trying to find a representative photograph. As for the title - as is my want I often play on words, but whilst I originally wrote spirit with a capital S I thought it may be seen as irreverent* so changed it to lower case. My intention for this small offering is to consider what spirits are, where they are, what the...

  • Route 666
    David Napier
    Why the title? Simply because when I was 60, I wanted to spend a few weeks travelling route 66, which, for various reasons did not materialise, then recently I watched a TV cookery programme where the presenters/cooks were travelling route 66 as I was typing some notes for this book - and I thought about adding an additional 6 to the famous route. Hopefully no one will think th...

  • Denominations or Abominations?
    David Napier
    As has often been the case, the beginning of one of my books comes to mind when talking with others - this small offering is no different. Having just finished writing Revival Revisited, I was talking to a fellow believer about how many religions have different views on revival, which made me think of how many religions there were, which led on to how many denominations there m...

  • Revival Revisited
    David Napier
    Spurgeon said, 'If revival is to come ’we must go directly to the Holy Ghost for it, and not resort to the machinery of the professional revival-maker.’ Ministers that are careless about the truths that cross their lips, church officers that are dead weight upon the Christian community, and members that do not relish the spiritual exhilaration of divine truth are all like smoke...

  • All Seeing I
    David Napier
    'Many Christians have a basic desire to live a holy life but have come to believe they simply cannot do it. They have struggled for years with particular sins or deficiencies of character. While not living in gross sin, they have more or less given up ever attaining a life of holiness and have settled down to a life of moral mediocrity with which neither they nor God are please...

  • And God Created...Head Lice
    David Napier
    This is not a horticultural, zoological, entomological, or any other ’cal- ending-word’ thesis. Neither is it an expose on evolution (I leave that to Vol one of Home From Home), though it would be, in my estimation, impossible, indeed remiss of me, not to raise some of the issues that are inherent when talking about God’s creative artistry, which, indeed is every entry I have i...

  • We Worship Hymn

    ’Awake, and breathe the airOf the celestial clime:Awake to love which knows no change,Thou who has done with time’Who would write such lovely words? Wesley? Havergal? Sankey? Nope - it’s from the Spiritualists National Union hymn book! We need to be aware of what we are singing, and where, if possible, the words came from. It is so easy to get caught up in the heat of the m...

  • The Upgrade Controversy
    David Napier
    In over 60 years of attending church, I have rarely if ever heard of anything more than a sentence used in passing to describe what election is or is not. When I gently challenged a pastor on this, he, like the majority of others, said they would ’discuss it again’ - which is a not-so-subtle way of saying ’Go away, this topic is too heavy for most people, and I have to consider...

  • Thinking about Thinking
    David Napier
    Whilst this book is partially concerned with how I think I think, I am always open to having my mind changed, sometimes by human intervention, sometimes by divine intervention. The latter is not of the Damascus Road level of intervention, but through speakers, books, TV programmes, radio, songs, nature and any other source through which God can open up my mind, including of cou...

  • Upstairs & Downstairs
    David Napier
    Not very academic or recognised as an introductory method to theology by any Bible College, but I thought if upstairs is Heaven, and downstairs is Hell, the ’lady’s chamber’ could then represent ’a new earth’; for when considering our final abode, our final destination, or whatever words/ concept you would prefer, it isn’t just Heaven or Hell. That may have been the old me, and...

  • Beyond the Mist
    David Napier
    This is the second book in the Beyond the Mist Trilogy. It follows David as Barak, into the past where he makes a journey, which at first he does not understand why, but after various adventures, meeting with people he thinks he has seen before, it eventually makes sense - of a kind. Barak’s former home is burned down, and he and his wife are shunned by the village. They move t...

  • What Stress? I’m a Christian!
    David Napier
    With over 30 years of offering stress management classes I thought I would put together a variety of resources that I have used, and have also included some information from the confidence building and relaxation classes I used to run. It worries me that a number of Christians I have met seem to think that issues such as stress, anxiety, depression etc., should never be part of...

    David Napier
    This is the final volume of Home from Home: A Comforting Thought? It is not a conclusion as such, for how can anyone have one about topics that have no concrete evidence. It attempts to consider the final destinations of the saved and the unsaved - Heaven and Hell. It also contains some ’interesting’ questions about these destinations, including if there are to be any animals t...

  • Home From Home
    David Napier
    In the previous three volumes, issues covered (though not as full as I was tempted to) included the creation of this world, the Fall, church structure, salvation, election, death and above all the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Along with quite a range of other issues in between, all these are topics up to the time we die, but then what? The issues raised in this volum...

    This is the third volume of five of Home from Home: A Comforting Thought? A Journey through life, death and beyond. Previous volumes considered creation, evolution, the Fall, salvation, free will, election, church structure and much more. This volume mainly considers death, and many issues that relate to this, both form a Christian perspective as well as ideas of near death and...
