    • No one has ever seen God. In fact, the Bible says it's impossible. And yet, to live the Christian life, you must see God. If we can see God, the very sight of Him will fuel and motivate all the other aspects of our lives. So how do we do it? John Davis delves into the ways that we can see God. We see God in His Word; we see Him in the person of Jesus Christ; we even see Him reflected in one another. Although God remains unseen, He has revealed Himself in a whole host of ways. Our hearts perceive Him in the beauty of creation, and in moments of wonder and transcendence. Davis also gives helpful counsel for when we feel like we can't see God, or don't want to see Him. When we behold God's glory it changes everything about us. In keeping our sight fixed on Him, we reflect Him more and more. John Davis invites us to join him in fixing our eyes on the One who is invisible and look forward to the day when we will see Him face to face.

      Focusing on the transformative years of the 1960s and 1970s, the book explores London's evolution from an industrial city to a modern 'world city.' It critiques the narrow focus on the 'Swinging London' era, positioning it as a fleeting moment amid broader changes. Through various case studies, key themes such as consumerism, gentrification, deindustrialization, and racial tensions are examined, revealing how these factors laid the groundwork for the socio-economic landscape shaped by Margaret Thatcher's policies post-1979.

    • At one point in his law enforcement career, John's relationship with God took a backseat to everything else. In fact, he knew he needed to talk to someone about his struggles on the job, in his marriage, and all the bitterness and hate inside, all the things he saw as a police officer. But, instead of doing that, he did what so many of us do; he shoved it down, tightened the screws on his mask, and drove on. In Man on the Roof, John shares in a very transparent way how putting his relationship with God in the backseat destroyed his family, and career, nearly leading to him taking his own life. He will describe how trauma was not just from his military combat experiences, or his law enforcement career, but also a lifetime of trauma that started at a young age. Discover what John did to change his course in life from death to a life of joy and purpose today.
