Bridges from the Word to the World

Bridges span gaps and help us get to the other side. It is what they do. This book spans what can often seem to be a gap between the Bible and everyday life.

In short five-minute reflections, Ian Coffey helps us to ground our Christian faith in reality, as he considers current affairs, life issue and events.

The book comprises 80 short readings, ideal to dip into and mull over as you sip your morning coffee.

From: The Methodist Recorder - 10 May 07 A third volume in the series 'Connecting the Bible and everyday living' by Ian Coffey with Kim Bush is [Bridges from the Word to the World]. Designed to span some gaps in linking the day's news to biblical teaching, the 79 two-page items range over events such as the Madrid train bombing in 2004, the outbreak of war in Iraq in 2003 and the release of Nelson Mandela in 1990, suffused with wisdom and leavened with humour. A book for personal reflection but even more for sharing with others. Reviewed by Margaret Daniels
