Day by Day with God May to August 2010

Content

Day by Day with God are Bible reading notes specifically written for women. All the contributors are women and write from a woman's perspective. The entries for each day contain a suggested Bible reading, with the key verse written out in full, a helpful comment that engages heart and mind and a short reflection or prayer. The regular team of contributors are all excellent writers. Whatever your current situation in life, you will be inspired and encouraged by these notes.

Published every four months (in January, May and September) and edited by Catherine Butcher.

Rosemary Green is active in her local church, in which she leads a pastoral care team. Her family of four offspring and 14 (mostly young) grandchildren are scattered around the UK. In this issue Rosemary writes on the Fatherhood of God.

Chris Leonard lives in Surrey with her husband, both 20-something offspring having fled the nest. With 17 books published, Chris leads many creative writing holidays and workshops. See www.chris-leonard-writing.co.uk. Chris writes on names - including the extraordinarily good news that God knows each one of his people by name, allows us to pray and act in his name, and even gives us a name.

Ali Herbert leads the women's ministry Girlzone at St Mary's, London, plays in the band Pastiche and is married to Nick. They have two (mostly!) delightful children, Gracie and Josiah. In this issue, Ali writes on the different names of God.

Diana Archer is a writer, mum of three, and wife of Graham, an Anglican vicar in Southampton. She wrote Who'd Plant a Church, a warts-and-all account of church planting in the UK. She is passionate about words, chocolate and the extraordinary truth of the gospel. In this issue, she writes on the book of Jeremiah.

Fiona Barnard is a staff member of Friends International. Her principal work is among international students, encouraging local Christians to reach out in friendship to those temporarily far from home. In this issue, Fiona writes on the Bible as literature - reminding us that the Bible was written over 1500 years in cultures, places and times vastly different to our own, and that we have to consider the original context of the writing , including the type of literature it is and how the words would have been understood by the original hearers or readers.

Sandra Wheatley's life changed abruptly in 1987 when she was diagnosed with MS. Unable to continue her nursing career, her life is nonetheless lived to the full as she seeks to know God and make him known through the struggles and 'delights' of living with a progressive disability. In this issue, Sandra writes on Journeys. The Bible tells many stories of journeying peoples. They had reasons similar to ours for travelling or relocating (not many would have seen their trips as 'holidays') but we can still learn much from their experiences of finding God wherever they travelled, under whatever circumstances.
