      The Peg and the Pumice Stone

      Do you long to share what Jesus is really like, but struggle to know how? Do you feel like a weak link when it comes to evangelism? And do you wonder what a peg and a pumice stone could have to do with it all? Then this is a book for you! I first read The Peg and The Pumice Stone on a train. It was jam packed. As I read there were plenty of snorts and laugh out loud moments as I devoured the stories. I could handle the looks and raised eyebrows as I guffawed but when a tear or two fell down my cheek and I sniffled over some of the heart breaking stories I felt I needed to engage with those around me about what I was reading and in a small way to reassure them that I was alright! The lady sitting next to me was fascinated with Glyn's story and proceeded to pour out her heart for over an hour about her family and those she had lost too. I only wished that I had a hard copy of Glyn's book with me at the time as this really is the kind of book that I want to give away to people I meet! The stories are uplifting, faith affirming and will help you share your faith naturally with those you meet. The next best thing to hanging out with Glyn and observing his infectious Jesus sharing is to read his book.
