Construction
Thursday, September 1st, 2011We have just moved to Hobart from the beachside village of Somerset in Northern Tasmania. Across the road from where we lived was West Somerset Primary School.

Wind of Change

Rob Bell Tolling

Here’s the promo video for his latest book, about which the controversy orbits: It’s a good promo video – raise the controversial question, hold off on the answer, let it hang.
