Description

Light for our Path, edited by Kate Hughes, is an ideal place to start exploring the Bible.
This is our more contmplative series of notes for use perhaps in a daily personal prayer time. Since it prints the key verse of the biblical text, Light for Our Path can be used with no Bible to hand. The daily notes introduce you to some of the biblical books as a whole, but they also cover a variety of themes, showing how the Old and New Testaments read together can reveal the depth, richness and relevance of the Bible for today's world. This is not a book of technical Bible study: rather, writers from all over the world and from many different churches help you to meditate on the word of God and see its relevance for your own life as they share its relevance to their lives.

Kate's career has included many years in southern Africa and she retains a deep understanding of the special requirements of individual and personal study. This year she has chosen contributors from countries such as Ethiopia, Malaysia, the West Indies, Romania, the USA, Australia, Kenya, India, and many more. Join them on their voyage of exploration and discovery through the riches of God's Word!

Books of the Bible studied this year are: St Mark's Gospel, Johannine themes, Nehemiah, Ezekiel, Hebrews, Revelation

Themes cover such diverse topics as, Who is Jesus?, Widows, orphans and aliens, Politics of God, Oneness of humanity, Eucharistic themes, Idols, Christian love, Visions of abundant life

Also published in a larger format in 2009, Light for our Path changes to a page-a-day layout, with the option of one reading at weekends. A clearer typeface, consistent style and quality paper all combine to make this an easy-to-use companion to Bible reading, and still incredible value for money.
