Books by Ian Black

The Bible is full of instructions for how we ought to behave if we want to be a follower of Jesus, but these often seem to belong to a by-gone age, far removed from our busy twenty-first century lives. Follow Me helps us uncover how Jesus’ words are still relevant, and distils the essence of the Gospel message for today, providing practical steps that all of us can take to live the sayings of Jesus.Using true stories to bring us closer to scripture, Ian Black draws connections between what Jesus said and how we live today in all its messiness and complexity. Based on Jesus’ words “follow me”, he reflects on acts of loving service, the commandment to love, prayer, money, forgiveness, self-sacrifice, mission, and the Eucharist (Communion).

A collection of casual insults, slanders and outright naked threats that were repeated in the haughmagandie-ridden howffs and haud-me-doons of the author's native city.

The rivalry between Cardiff and Swansea is one of the fiercest there is anywhere. From the rugby pitch to the fierce football rivalry of the South Wales derby between the Bluebirds of Cardiff City FC and the Swans of Swansea City FC, this title features a collection of jokes, anecdotes, banter and diatribes as each city tries to outdo the other.
