Lighting the Beacons
SPCK Publishing (Verlag)
978-0-281-08777-8 (ISBN)
What if those moments we put down to coincidence are really the calling cards of God? What if those pinpricks of light in the darkest places are beacons to guide us, telling of the agonizing love in God's heart? What if God is calling to us, 'I miss you, please come home' ?
Lighting the Beacons seeks to expand our everyday horizons by daring us to believe that the realities of heaven can break through right here, right now.
Inspired by her own recurring vision of pinpricks of light being fanned into flame, Bishop Jill writes for a wide audience to kindle faith in our hearts, to light beacons. Highlighting stories from contemporary culture, Scripture and the writings of the saints, Lighting The Beacons seeks to encourage those who are curious about the Christian faith, those who feel discouraged and those aspiring to be giants of faith and part of a transformed society.
An excellent gift for those who yearn to be transformed by God. With study guides at the end of each chapter, it is also ideal book for group discussion.
Jill Duff is the Anglican Bishop of Lancaster in the Diocese of Blackburn in her home county of Lancashire, as well as an Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of St Asaph in Wales. She is a sought-after speaker, passionate about communicating the good news of Jesus in everyday language, and committed to finding ways for people to come home spiritually. A chemist by background, Jill worked in research and management in a multi-national oil company before being ordained into the Church of England. Until becoming a bishop, she served all her ministry in deprived areas of Liverpool Diocese. She was the founding director of St Mellitus North West – the first full-time ordination training college in the region for over forty years – where she taught mission, evangelism and New Testament. Jill is mum to two teenage boys and wife to Jeremy.
