This collection of Nick Fawcett's moving meditations is linked to the Common Worship Lectionary for Year C, covering every Sunday plus the major festivals. The meditations focus exclusively on the Gospel readings and are written from the perspective of characters from the Gospels, breathing new life into these familiar passages to stimulate reflection on the person of Jesus. They can be used to supplement the sermon, or replace it in a less formal family service. In section two of the book, there is a collection of reflective services for Christian festivals throughout the year, and also resources for quiet days.
