In this collection of thirty-two elegant reflections on the Christian life, Lawrence Wood brings together insights from Scripture with his own observations of the “real world”—including the lives of famous and not-so-famous people and observations of popular culture—to offer a fresh, engaging, and inspirational look at the gospel at work in everyday life.
“Lawrence Wood is my kind of writer; he leaves wide margins for the reader’s mind, making space for thought and memory newly activated. For Wood, Scripture and experience are interwoven so that each interprets the other, and yet he respects the difference between the two, refusing to collapse them into an easy relevance.”
