I got a call from Premier Radio this morning, asking if I'd seen the stories that Google Home doesn't know who Jesus is, but does know who Buddha, Mohammed are, etc. I had quick trawl around the internet, and a bit of Facebook conversation (only visible to 'friends'), this video demonstrates it quite well: That video also links to an article questioning why this might happen, and if we look beyond the headlines about 'outrage'…

Home: the quest to belong by Jo Swinney My rating: 5 of 5 stars I first heard that Jo was writing this book last year, when she saw a blogpost I'd written for Amy http://www.amyboucherpye.com/2016/05/.... I've read this book mostly on the train, and have really enjoyed the mix of personal story (both Jo's own & those she's found) mixed in with drawing upon the biblical story of David.
