Gaze on him ... Consider him ... Contemplate him ... As you desire to imitate him. This advice from St Clare of Assisi is the key to unlocking the door to the heart of Jesus' teaching. Her words provide a pattern of meditation that brings alive the Gospel reading for every Sunday in Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary.

'At every point the author persuades the reader that the Gospel readings really are relevant to our contemporary lives - she offers many images that will help congregations and preachers alike - For its sheer poetry and imagination, Judith Dimond's Gazing on the Gospels - is well worth buying.' Robin Gill, in Outlook

The Good Book Stall

This marks the completion of Judith Dimond&#146;s greatly appreciated series of meditations on the gospels (Matthew this time) in the Church&#146;s 3-year Lectionary of Bible readings. Once again, she uses the template offered by Clare of Assisi: &#147;Gaze, Consider, Contemplate, as you desire to Imitate Christ.&#148; For each Sunday, we find: a reflection that helpfully draws us deep into the Gospel passage; a brief consideration of some wider issues; contemplation of the everyday impact of the message on us; and a simple appropriate prayer, featuring the challenge of becoming more like Christ. Like the others in the series, for years B and C, this is a delightful little book, which will help any of us who follow the Lectionary, and anyone who wishes to draw nearer to the Christ who encounters us in Matthew&#146;s Gospel.
