“André hasn’t just learned theology, he lives it. This is evident in this book which doesn’t just communicate ideas, but communicates his heart and passion to connect us with Jesus in a way that can characterise our day-to-day living.”
— Ian Henderson Founder and CEO of Visible Ministries and the Naked Truth Project
“It is a great pleasure to recommend André’s short and punchy book. How can the cross be important to so-called ‘millennials’? André’s approach is highly personal and innovative, with a lot of dialogue and narrative. It is also firmly biblical and explains his topic with clarity and energy. A very useful and relevant book – it will prove valuable to Christian leaders of all ages.”
— Rev. Robert Willoughby Church Leader and former tutor at London School of Theology
“A lively exploration of the riches of the cross, from one of the UK’s brightest young Christian writers. ”
— Mike Starkey Writer, broadcaster, and creator of the Faith
“André’s passion for people to know the beauty, truth and power of the gospel in all its fullness shines through in this clever and creative little book. As we make the effort to understand the richness of the Good News so that we may share it with clarity, we can be thankful to André for reminding us that the connection points from the cross of Christ are sufficient to reach any person, as we listen to the genuine concerns of their lives and share the gospel with them accordingly.”
— Ben Jack Advance, The Message Evangelists Movement
“I loved reading Same Cross New Questions. I would recommend it to anyone who is keen to reflect on the significance of Christ’s death and resurrection. I will be particularly recommending it to those who would like to become more effective in sharing Christ with others. My understanding of the cross has been enriched and I feel better equipped to help people from a variety of generations and backgrounds consider what has been accomplished through the cross.”
— Andy Barclay-Watt Senior Leader, LifeChurch Manchester
“A timely book! A conversation between friends that helps us find out what friendship with God could look like.”
— Anthony Delaney Leader of Ivy Network churches, NewThing church planting, and LAUNCH conference
“André has written a wonderful book that brings the Good News of Jesus to life in an original, fresh and accessible format. This is a resource that I will be recommending to young people in my church who want to grow in their understanding of the Christian faith and the incredible difference Jesus can make in their life. If you have questions about the meaning and significance of the cross, this book is an excellent place to start!”
— Rev. Danny Rodgers Curate, Buckingham Parish Church
“This book really picks up on some very valuable points as to how to approach a person and talk about Christianity without coming across too strong or crazy. It’s a good guide to help students and young adults talk about their faith with others, and for those who are struggling to incorporate God’s love into their daily lives. It’s also really quotable with interesting and unique descriptions of God and the cross. An extremely informative and fun book.”
— Efua Coleman Leadership team, University of Salford Christian Union
“André creates a caring conversation about how the cross can still speak into our feelings of worry, anxiety, loneliness and nagging belief that we are simply not good enough.”
— Ben Dyer Young adults minister, Red Church, Ormskirk
“This is an innovative approach to articulating theological truth for the digital native. André has successfully captured, in book form, what happens every day in ministry to young people and young adults: text chat. His articulation of the faith through these imaginary conversations is thoughtful, helpful and hopeful for pastors, youth leaders, student and young adult workers who are looking for new ways to engage today’s culture, particularly when they are faced with questions about the cross. For anyone looking to ‘connect’ theology and the digital native, this book is a must-read.”
— Joseph Wood Lecturer in Church History at Nazarene Theological College
“The cross, even though it is the centre point of Christian faith, presents some of the deepest mysteries. No quicker are those mysteries discovered than in everyday conversations. What André does in this book is throw those ideas and conversations into the limelight and tackle the difficult questions that arise. It is both helpful and illuminating how André seeks to apply theology almost instantly. The conversations and scenarios are clearly birthed in real-life ministry moments, and to see how these central theological paradigms affect us is of such worth and necessary for those in everyday ministry. If you work with people who ask questions, this book is for you!”
— Rev. Alex Raymet Church Leader and lecturer in Theology & Youth Ministry
