In the first book by the first woman to be appointed a diocesan bishop in the Church of England, Bishop Rachel Treweek reflects on significant encounters between Jesus and those he met in the Gospels, relating each scripture to key encounters in her own life story and encouraging readers to explore its relevance to their own life. Each reflection ends in a prayer, making the book ideal for daily reading, perhaps as part of a quiet time. The Foreword is written by Archbishop Justin Welby.
