I don’t get the privilege of preaching very often, so when I do it tends to be memorable—probably not for the congregation, but definitely for me. Earlier this year I was preaching on Habakkuk 3, and in my introduction I shared a personal experience of having my world shaken 24 years ago by something unexpected and distressing.
Naked God: the truth about God exposed
- Martin Ayers •
- 2 February 2010
Is there a God? And perhaps more to the point, if there is a God, what real difference will it make to my life? These are the most basic and universal of questions, and yet we don't usually take much time to think about them. In Naked God, former lawyer Martin Ayers provides an opportunity for the reader to do just that: to ask the awkward questions, to sift through the evidence, and to get to the truth about God.

“So... how did you find the passage? Any initial thoughts?” An eerie silence follows, accompanied by the awkward shifting of people in their chairs, as it becomes apparent that no-one has prepared. It will be a dry old night of trying to wring out some answers from people whose sudden pangs of guilt have distracted them from the possibility of thinking up a response by reading the passage right now.
