This is a book to accompany the readings in year A of the Lectionary. It aims to help individuals and groups to understand and use Matthew's Gospel. This book's unique slant is that it asks readers to use their imagination 'to bring the Gospel to life.' It asks readers to visualize themselves in the scenes that Luke describes in order to see Matthew's Gospel in a fresh and exciting way.

The Good Book Stall

I really like the way this book is set out. The three authors work extremely well together to open up the Lectionary readings from Matthew through the year. There is a helpful introduction to the Gospel at the beginning and then each chapter has the same framework:Exploring the text, Imagining the text and reflecting on the text. I gained some new insights into Matthew and in particular enjoyed the reflective section. At the end of the chapter are some questions which are helpful if the book is being used by a group. This is a useful and stimulating resource and one I can recommend.
