Easter

Hello, Hello!

Sorry there was no blog in March - If you’ve been following me on Facebook and Instagram you’ll know its been a busy time.

Quite a few people have been telling me how useful my novel Martha Martha has been during Lent, especially during the last week in the run up to Easter. The book sets out the drama of the events as they happened, but is told by word of mouth, as it would have been that first Easter. There are Bible references for each chapter in the appendix, which makes it easy to follow. I will remember to flag this up next Easter too. But it’s not too late to get a copy of Martha Martha and spend some time in reflection about what Jesus’ death and resurrection means for each of us personally.

If this is a fairly new idea or concept for you then the book will definitely help to bring the whole story to life and place it in its historical and cultural context.

Much of the time lately, has been taken up with walking the Cotswold Way in preparation for Scotland later this year, and in preparing for my Breakfast talk on the 22nd April, at St Philips, Dorridge. Which is especially appropriate as Martha’s story begins with twenty five unexpected guests turning up at her place for breakfast. Its no wonder she had a reputation for being distracted and busy.

Jesus said, I am the only way to God, I am the truth, and I am the life. A good life, one that is connected to God in a close loving relationship and that is all possible through the crux of his story, the cross.

Blessings to you all.
