For centuries, western society has been embedded in Christian teaching. Now, for a number of reasons, this has changed. Surveys reveal that while 80% of the population believe in God, less than 20% attend a church, which means that the scriptural references cherished by many Christians have no meaning for a large number of people. Increasingly these people are coming to retreats, spirituality workshops and days of reflection. They are outside religious structures and are likely to remain so, but they are all seeking maps for the journey. As a woman said, "We are here because we are hungry".
This book is a response to that need. Joy Cowley has tried to clothe the word of God with new flesh. The notes in this book borrow from centuries of Christian devotion but leave out the church language that sounds alien to many.
Joy Cowley believes that she was prompted to write these notes in the company of the Master who said, "Others I have who are not of this fold".
