Be Thankful!

Which wardrobe?

When Contentment Is A Mystery

His Peace Under Pressure

In a world that offers us so many ways to make us happy, Rico shows us that happiness comes from our circumstances, whereas joy comes from what's in our hearts. He shows how this can be found even when we are under great pressure.

His Strength In Opposition

Growing In Love

Submitting In Reverence To Christ

We Are Reconciled By The Cross

Empowered by the rule of Christ

As Ephesians chapter one documents all the spiritual blessings that belong to the believer in Christ, Rico is at pains to stress that it's no use our knowing all these things in our head if we don't internalise them in our hearts
