Living The Gospel Stories Today by John Pritchard

In this exhilarating book, John Pritchard reclaims the narrative power of the gospels by retelling well-known stories in vivid, imaginative language, and showing us how our own stories fit into the Christian story and can be transformed by it. He takes key narratives like the visit of Mary to Elizabeth, the parable of the rich fool, and the Last Supper, and helps us to be part of them. We are given the opportunity to see the people involved more clearly, not least of all Jesus himself - and so to consider whether we might live our own lives a little differently. An ideal resource for anyone concerned to communicate the Christian faith in a lively, contemporary style, Living the Gospel Stories Today will prove no less helpful as an aid to personal meditation and group discussion.
The Rt Revd John Pritchard is Bishop of Oxford and Chairman of the Church of England Board of Education. He was Bishop of Jarrow and, before that, Archdeacon of Canterbury. He has written many books for S.P.C.K., including the bestselling Intercessions Handbook, How to Pray, Going to Church: A user's guide, The Life and Work of a Priest and, most recently, Living Jesus and God Lost and Found.
