The Archbishop of Canterbury recommends Ruth Valerio’s book as a challenge to lift our gaze from everyday concerns towards issues that have an impact on the lives of millions around the world. Valerio gives readers the opportunity to share in God’s ingenuity in making a difference for good, drawing imaginatively on the metaphors for creation found in Genesis 1. She plays with the themes of light, water, land, seasons etc to encourage reflection on current big issues. Each chapter explores what it means to be human and a follower of Jesus and contains discussion questions and a prayer to encourage action and contemplation. Find copies here.
