Her work with A Rocha provides the inspiration for this volume. The ‘Lenten journey’ here is not based on the Church’s lectionary but on a broader (quasi sacramental?) view of the relationship between God, humanity, and creation, which is focused in the Easter story. The work of A Rocha is basically to invite Christian communities around the world to engage with creation, to try to improve the ways in which humanity treats the environment, and to do so in practical and achievable ways. (My last parish had an example of their work: a piece of wasteland under a rather nasty flyover which was transformed into a little nature reserve.) Again, we have here 40 short chapters ending with short reflections. The theme determines the scriptures used, not the other way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preserve-white-space\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preserve-white-space\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row avoid-break\" data-v-5a160260=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\" data-v-5a160260=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\" id=\"productCardSubjectsAndAudience\" data-v-5a160260=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","published_at":"2025-01-14T12:38:30+00:00","created_at":"2025-01-14T12:36:59+00:00","vendor":"Jo Swinney","type":"eBook","tags":["Biblical engagement","Caring for creation","Devotional","Discipleship","Easter","Environmental issues","For individuals","Glassboxx","Lent"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":54875600421244,"title":"eBook","option1":"eBook","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800392700","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":72704226034044,"product_id":14961331306876,"position":1,"created_at":"2025-01-15T16:32:57+00:00","updated_at":"2025-01-15T16:33:02+00:00","alt":null,"width":1303,"height":2000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782","variant_ids":[54875600421244]},"available":true,"name":"The Whole Easter Story: Why the cross is good news for all creation - eBook","public_title":"eBook","options":["eBook"],"price":999,"weight":220,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800392700","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":63720648802684,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"width":1303,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/348_eb0ad652-8ba8-48b9-969b-1921a30fa156.png?v=1736958780"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":63720648802684,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"width":1303,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782"},"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/347_a073f3e7-2229-4bed-9391-272bb40c2388.png?v=1736958782","width":1303},{"alt":null,"id":63720648835452,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"width":1303,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/348_eb0ad652-8ba8-48b9-969b-1921a30fa156.png?v=1736958780"},"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/348_eb0ad652-8ba8-48b9-969b-1921a30fa156.png?v=1736958780","width":1303}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital eBook Only -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e There is no doubt that each of us has a place in the Easter story, but what happened on the cross is not just a story of me and Jesus.

Her work with A Rocha provides the inspiration for this volume. The ‘Lenten journey’ here is not based on the Church’s lectionary but on a broader (quasi sacramental?) view of the relationship between God, humanity, and creation, which is focused in the Easter story. The work of A Rocha is basically to invite Christian communities around the world to engage with creation, to try to improve the ways in which humanity treats the environment, and to do so in practical and achievable ways. (My last parish had an example of their work: a piece of wasteland under a rather nasty flyover which was transformed into a little nature reserve.)

In these beautifully written and artfully presented meditations, Gemma reminds us that the first Christmas also took place in a complicated and complex world, and that God is ready to accompany us in our messy lives, whether we’re in a car, at our desk, in our living room or, yes, atop a camel.’ \u003cem\u003eJames Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e‘An attractive and inspiring travel invitation.

Reviewed by Andy Goodliff Maggi Dawn is an Anglican Priest, theologian, university chaplain, singer, author, speaker and blogger. This book is a collection of bible readings and reflections for the season of advent. As Christmas seems to begin earlier and earlier each year, the season of Advent gets squeezed and this book reminds us that there are four weeks before Christmas begins. The style of the book reminds me of Tom Wright's For Everyone series as it communicates and reveals new depths to these well-known stories. The book is divided into six sections. Section one is all about beginnings and especially how the gospel writers begin their story. Section two and three take us back into Old Testament and Abraham, Elijah and Isaiah. Section four looks at angel-incidents in the Bible and explores how God speaks to us. Section five draws us into the story of Mary and Joseph and section six is headed endings and we engage with shepherds and kings. Some of my favourite of the reflections - 'Coming, ready or not' and 'No room at the inn?' - first appeared on Maggi's blog over the last few years. In 'Coming, ready or not', we find a baby will come whether everything is in place or not and so Maggi says 'it is with God. He will be born in our world whether we're ready or not, deserving or not, prepared or not. The incarnation of God will defy our plans, upset the organized and come with ease and joy to undeserving sinners and the poor in spirit. (p.105). 'No room at the inn?' explores the Greek word kataluma, which is often translated as 'inn'. Maggi shows us the word is actually more likely to mean 'a large family living room used for eating and receiving guests' (p.115), which puts a different emphasis on how we read the story. Let me encourage you to get a copy of this book to go with your Advent calendar. In and amongst the busyness of those December days, these daily Bible readings will enable you to prepare for the coming of God once again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-05-07T12:28:17+01:00","created_at":"2025-03-28T12:22:30+00:00","vendor":"Maggi Dawn","type":"Paperback","tags":["Advent","Christmas","Devotional","Discipleship","For individuals","For Women","KCLC","New Titles","seasonal","Upcoming titles"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":55065389826428,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800395107","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Beginnings and Endings (and what happens in between)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":999,"weight":197,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800395107","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":64644050551164,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"width":1535,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192","width":1535}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur everyday lives are full of small-scale beginnings and endings-births, death, marriages, careers, house moves and so on.

Section one is all about beginnings and especially how the gospel writers begin their story. Section two and three take us back into Old Testament and Abraham, Elijah and Isaiah. Section four looks at angel-incidents in the Bible and explores how God speaks to us. Section five draws us into the story of Mary and Joseph and section six is headed endings and we engage with shepherds and kings. Some of my favourite of the reflections - 'Coming, ready or not' and 'No room at the inn?' - first appeared on Maggi's blog over the last few years. In 'Coming, ready or not', we find a baby will come whether everything is in place or not and so Maggi says 'it is with God. He will be born in our world whether we're ready or not, deserving or not, prepared or not. The incarnation of God will defy our plans, upset the organized and come with ease and joy to undeserving sinners and the poor in spirit. (p.105). 'No room at the inn?' explores the Greek word kataluma, which is often translated as 'inn'. Maggi shows us the word is actually more likely to mean 'a large family living room used for eating and receiving guests' (p.115), which puts a different emphasis on how we read the story. Let me encourage you to get a copy of this book to go with your Advent calendar. In and amongst the busyness of those December days, these daily Bible readings will enable you to prepare for the coming of God once again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}
