Description: The Unfolding Story
Photocopy: Permitted
The Unfolding Story is a comprehensive parish resource for reflective worship on the Old Testament. It is designed for use in public worship or for quiet days, with the 80 meditations woven into themed ready-to-use orders of service.
For many the Old Testament is a closed book - primitive and dull, often barbaric, irrelevant. To reconcile the God we find there with the God revealed in Jesus is sometimes hard.
But it is also the story of a people's journey across centuries towards an ever-deepening understanding of God's greatness, love and mercy, all brought together in anticipation of the promised Messiah - a journey shared and continued by every Christian.
The meditations which form the basis of the services in
The Unfolding Story were previously published in
Grappling with God. Nick Fawcett has now developed them into complete services with
•an Introduction • Prayers • Hymn suggestions • Commentries • Readings
Nothing more to do, except pray them!
