Holding on and Letting Go - Reflections, Stories, Prayers

Sometimes it is right to hold on to something, sometimes better to let go. But there is often a creative tension around assessing how to act. And in God's economy, it may be that letting go of old ties makes it possible for God to bless us in new ways. The many real-life stories in this richly textured volume explore this truth. Woven through with Bible reflections and prayers, they offer both comfort and encouragement to those of us struggling to believe in God's intimate concern in - and glorious purposes for - our own seemingly 'ordinary' lives. 'A hopeful book, full of prompts and prods . . . confident in the busyness of God's silence.' Church Times (on Waiting)
