Description: No Ordinary Man - Book 1

What must it have felt like to be one of the shepherds beside the manger, or one of the wise men at last arriving in Bethlehem, one of the apostles sharing in the Last Supper, or one of the women standing at the foot of the cross, one of those to whom Jesus appeared after his death, or one of those who felt the power of the Spirit at work in the early days of the Christian Church?

Nick Fawcett's imaginative, often moving meditations breathe new life into passages of Scripture which may have become so familiar they fail to speak as powerfully as they used to. He puts us into the shoes of those who knew Jesus best, and, through reflection, Bible reading and prayer, encourages us to explore what Jesus means for us now.

No Ordinary Man, Book 1 includes 100 meditations on the life of Jesus, a superb collection of related prayers, 21 service outlines for Advent to Trinity, 9 outlines for themed services and quiet days, and suggestions for music and slides.
