God is everywhere, and that means he can speak to us in all sorts of interesting places! It doesn't take more than a page or two to get absorbed by this hugely enjoyable and original book, in which Sister Elizabeth invites us to read the Bible (in traditional or less obvious electronic form): • over a gingerbread latte in Costa Coffee • having a little something down The Rose and Crown • people watching at the train station • scrubbing up in the bathroom • foraging at the car boot sale • revving it up with Top Gear and in the library . . . YOU: (whisper) 'Do you fancy a coffee, Sister?' ME: (whisper) 'Does the Pope pray? Of course I do. But we have to look intelligent first, get your Bible out.'

Engaging, fun reflections from the 'Tweeting Nun' on reading your Bible wherever you might be

The Good Book Stall

Reading this delightful book is like jumping into a jacuzzi of bubbling words. Stimulating and refreshing. Sister Elizabeth Pio asks us to imagine ourselves in various locations as we read Bible passages which she has chosen 'at random'. We sit down with her and her faithful Parsons Jack Russell in places including the train station, the pub, the kitchen, a car boot sale and in front of the TV watching some unlikely programmes!

As Sister Pio shares what she thinks God is saying about each passage, we are encouraged to hear for ourselves what God may be saying to us. More than that it inspires us to keep on meditating on God's word in our own unexpected spaces and places.

I love the humour, the insight and the cultural relevance of this book. Miss it, miss out!
