Description: Jump Leads & Bump Starts

Here is a collection of reflections based on scripts the author has written and presented for national and local radio stations over the years. They are bite-size meditations on a wide range of subjects, including Love, Lent, Journeys, Hope, Money, Dogs and forgiveness, Christmas preparations.

The book can be used in a pick 'n' mix way, rather like jump leads or bump starts for your conversations with God. The Bible and Subject indexes will help if this is the approach you wish to take. Alternatively, the reflections are in a loose chronological order, as though they were stepping stones through the year.

Most of the main Christian festivals are included, as well as other milestones in a typical year. In addition, each reflection includes a suggested Bible passage and questions to think about.
