Recorded this really good conversation with Evan Rose from the Yale Centre for Faith & Culture recently on Blaise Pascal and his relevance for today. He had some great questions and it was a really good discussion.

Here's my column in the Times from last Saturday on the modern world's obsession with constant growth and progress...
Had a great time doing this episode of Re-Enchanting with Belle and Justin on my new biography of Blaise Pascal.

Praying today for all those for whom this day brings back painful memories of Grenfell 8 years ago. The last anniversary where the Tower will still be standing. I hope the Memorial raised there will be a fitting memory of previous lives, lessons learned and the power of Hope.
Strange to be back at Grenfell today as the anniversary approaches. Hard to believe the fire was 8 years ago.
"Christianity, despite the times when it was on the verge of extinction, has proved surprisingly resilient. Like the dead body of Jesus, whenever people thought they had finished it off and nailed it down, it has shown a surprising capacity to be reborn"

This is going to be big. Like the Bible Project but for Church History. This first one is a strong, historically well-judged and well-told account of the first 200 years of the Church. Take a look & subscribe - there will be more to come.

Watching Rory McIlroy's victory on Sunday sent me straight to John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The parallels are remarkable - even down to the green jacket. See here:

Decent point at QPR yesterday. Hope quietly growing at #BristolCity that this could be our season for the playoffs.

If you're in London on Monday evening 31st March 6.30pm, I'd love to see you at the London Launch of my biography of Pascal: Blaise Pascal, the Man who Made the Modern World. I'll be talking about the book and the man. There will be drinks and stuff to eat. What's not to like?
This book - my biography of Pascal - comes out today! Had a great launch last night in Oxford. London launch on 31st March at 6.30pm at @stmellitus
Saw this the other day in London. Just think of what came from that event. Love Divine… And can it be…. Hark the Herald….
Fascinating. Another atheist loses their faith.
