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.
