Description
Wicked sense of humour and astounding craftsmanship. ... Writing that refreshes. That's what Glenn Myers does with glee. Andrew Goh.
The Christian life is mostly like being a sandwich filling. Pressing down from above? The promises of God. Squeezing us from below? Life. Here's a guide:
· Hearing wrongly from God
· Shallowness, and how to get there
· The art of prayerlessness
· Learning good sense from the minds of small children
· The shortage of spiritual heroes
· The biggest failure in the Bible
And much else, Romance, bad luck, bad luck in romance, finding yourself in the wrong church, child-rearing, and facing chronic illness - all can make God seem far away and the Christian faith unreal. Or they can be the stuff from which hope and character are built.
Welcome to the sandwich. Originally a set of magazine articles, The Sandwich is a refreshing set of discipleship articles for those of us who don't quite do it right.

Person
Glenn Myers was born in Yorkshire, England in 1962. He has degrees from Kings College London and Fuller Theological Seminary, and currently resides in Cambridge, UK.
As a journalist Glenn travelled widely to write a series of 11 books about unusual cultures around the world. Since turning to comic fiction, he writes about the invisible worlds that we all live in--much more exotic than mere reality.
Glenn has also written non-fiction exploring the spaces between doubt and faith, and he blogs at slowmission.com
Glenn's writing has won various prizes, including expenses-paid tours of both Europe and Singapore and (a long time ago) had a series of short stories broadcast on the BBC.
He was in a coma for four weeks in 2013, but assumes he's stopped hallucinating now.
Glenn is married with two grown-up children.
