Light for our Path 2013

The Bible is not an easy book to get into, although it is infinitely rewarding if you make the effort. But where to start? More experienced readers can help you to explore, and Light for our Path is an ideal way to begin regular Bible reading. 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 how it bears on your own life.Among the books studied this year are: readings in Luke (the lectionary gospel for the year), Questions in Job, Navigating Numbers, Hosea, Isaiah 56-66 and Acts 6-12, plus a wide range of interesting themes, including: Living differently, Through Lent and Passiontide in poetry, Fire, Mountains and valleys, Paul for today, Contested sites, Mothers and Facing death.
