Synopsis

Seeking Jesus is a meditation for every week of the lectionary year. Initially privately published, it sold nearly 300 copies and is now reproduced here for a wider public. Starting in Advent there is an entry for each week, including all the possible weeks of Advent and Pentecost. It is described as a journey through the Christian year in poetry, prayer, reflection and prose to help us think about the presence of Jesus in our world today as we seek him and he finds us. Colin Ferguson, the writer has had a varied career in Criminal and Family Justice and he writes from over thirty years of working where so many think that God has forsaken them. Apart from just reading and enjoying the work it has proved to be a good discussion rouser in many groups. It is written to make you think and has been enjoyed by non Christians as well as those who share our faith. God is seeking all his people, not just the nice ones. All the people are seeking a reason for life, all share a spirituality, and that means they are seeking. Here is a book to help all of us on our life journey

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Colin Ferguson (1937) was born in Perth (Scotland) and moved with his mother and sister to Richmond (Surrey) when he was eleven when he went to Tiffin School. Life was difficult as for many years the family had no settled home, partly due to his father's drinking. After two years in the Royal Air Force he worked for nine years in the Bank of England. A long period of illness led him to consider ministry but that ministry was to be in the Probation Service. He worked in Lambeth, Holloway Prison and Battersea before his family moved to Reading on his promotion to a senior position. In Reading most of his work was with young families and families separation and divorcing. When he retired early from probation he continued to work with families as a mediator. He and Janet have been married for over 55 years and their four children now have six children as well. For most of that time he has been a Lay Preacher in the United Reformed Church, though it is not unusual to find him in the local Methodist Churches. He talks about redeployment rather than retirement and since he was 70 he has spent time in writing and putting together books of his work. Two of his hymns are internationally known. He now has seven books to his name, many a collection of new hymns more recently with new music from those who like to work with him. He has been published in many anthologies and is a regular contributor to 'Worship Live' an on-line magazine for new ideas in worship.
