Downloadable articles for churches and individuals to use

The Godshapedlife Library is an archive of documents that ministers and other leaders may find useful in teaching or practising discipleship. Most come from Rev Viv's own ministry life but some will have been sourced elsewhere, in which case that will be acknowledged.
