A collection of Adrian Plass' readings from 'New Daylight', arranged in 18 sections, with introductions

Walking the way of Jesus can be very tough but this book helps us remember that no one has to do it alone.

When You Walk is a rich collection of warm, highly individualistic, sometimes refreshingly maverick responses to familiar and not so familiar passages, that Adrian Plass has contributed to The Bible Reading Fellowship's New Daylight Bible reading notes over the last few years.

The material, organised by Adrian himself, includes a new and substantial preface to each of the eighteen sections in the book. Section headings include:

Getting Lost
Obedience
Passion
Theory and Practice
Reality
Story power
Heading for Heaven
New Beginnings

All crucial areas, not just in what we narrowly term 'The Christian Life', but in life itself.

In his introduction to The Shape of the Real World, a section that includes fifteen passages from The Sermon on the Mount, Adrian quotes a writer named Red Smith, who makes the following comment:
'Writing is really quite simple: all you have to do is sit down at your typewriter and open a vein.'

That is why laughter and tears abound in this book. The writer offers nothing less than the fruits of his own vulnerability in the hope that we, his readers, will be equally willing to react honestly, thus transforming our relationship with the Bible, and especially with those verses that have, in a sense, become invisible, because we have never given ourselves permission to look clearly at the way they make us feel.

There is no doubt that such a process will also transform our relationship with God.

Join Adrian for the walk. We know it can be very tough, but no-one has to do it alone.
