Revealed
The films Calendar Girls and The Full Monty, on which this course is based, have one thing in common: nakedness. However, this is simply the trigger for the true revelations which give these stories their heart. This course has six weekly sessions, taking themes from film scenes and applying them to the Bible, exploring ways in which we are revealed to ourselves and to God, and how God reveals himself to us and to the world. Meditations precede each session, encouraging participants to read, reflect, pray, think, question and be creative in their own time. Each session is self-contained, meaning if a participant cannot attend one week, they will not fall behind. And don't worry, there is no nudity involved!

The King is coming, and he is going to reward all those who are rich in the land,' declared the King's messenger one winter's day. Greedy Squirrel was determined to get the reward and started stashing nuts and acorns all over the wood.

Finally spring arrived and the King commanded all his subjects to appear before him to get their reward...The story is based on Matthew 25:40 'I tell you the truth. Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. About John Stewart These beautifully crafted illustrations and carefully constructed stories charm and inspire on many levels. John Stewart delivers a powerful gospel message with a delicate touch. Living in Wimborne, Dorset, John has been writing stories since he gave his life to the Lord in 1975.
