Promoting Relational Transformation in Church and Society through:
Training
Equipping people to live out relationally healthy lives in the church and in the world.
Mentoring
Training mentors and running mentoring groups to help followers of Jesus grow in Christlikeness.
Publishing
Bringing to life books that promote spiritual friendship and connect the Word of God with the issues of daily life.
Why Spiritual Friendship?
Spiritual friendship is friendship that is rooted in Christ for the purpose of helping followers of Jesus grow in Christlikeness. Our model for spiritual friendship takes its cue from Jesus, who called together a community (Matthew 4:18–22) at the start of His public ministry.
The Christian life can be described as following Jesus in the company of friends. But how many of us have these vital and life-giving relationships in place?
Why Publishing?
It is all too easy to live a life that divides the sacred from the secular. But we believe that all of life is lived under God; that there is no such divide.
So we publish books to help followers of Jesus Christ embrace spiritual friendship, and live out their faith in the world. Our books help them connect the Word of God with the issues of daily life — truth for life — issues like busyness, young adulthood, marriage, parenting, growing old, work as worship to God, politics, corruption, to name a few.
“I hope my reflections will continue to bless even more people, giving a little hope to all of us trying to make sense of a chaotic age.”

A Late Zoomer
The first mission given to humankind was this: “Be fruitful and increase in number;” (Genesis 1:28a NIV) They couldn’t do this over Zoom. Jesus told us to wash one another’s feet (John 13:1–17). Can’t do this over Zoom either. At least four times in the New Testament...
Personal and Relational
A few days ago, I saw a Facebook posting about a wedding I helped conduct in 1998. There was an accompanying picture that showed the couple with me, half my present size and with black hair. I can’t remember the details of that wedding and, though the couple was very...
Finding Rest While Working from Home
We live in strange and unprecedented times where most of us are forced to work from home and the already blurred lines between work and leisure are almost no longer visible. When weekdays and weekends are both spent in the “comfort” of the home, the “sacredness” of...

Full and Grateful
It's a bit hard to believe that this is the last Graceworks commentary for the year. This year feels more full than other years. Perhaps it has been developments in family, especially caring for mum in Penang. She is 92, living with dementia and other health issues....
Wait for it, wait for it…
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you...
Mary Was No Wimp
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was no wimp. The angel Gabriel declared that Mary was “highly favoured” and that the Lord was with her (Luke 1:26–28), which are Luke’s code words for the fact that Mary was a woman of substance. She was maybe 14 years old? Yet she stood her...
