Happy birthday, BRF!

Happy 100 anniversary to BRF, the Bible Reading Fellowship! (Scroll down to learn how to win a copy of The BRF Book of 365 Bible Reflections.)

Today, BBC1’s Songs of Praise will feature a programme on “The Power of the Bible,” including an exploration of this wonderful ministry of BRF. I’m delighted to be part of it, including meeting Alison Taylor from New Zealand via zoom, when we chat about how God used one of my notes in New Daylight during a time of crisis. It airs at 13.15 and will be available on iPlayer afterwards – I think, however, that only people in the UK will be able to watch it. You can watch a clip here.

It was in 2008 that I received an invitation to contribute to New Daylight – my first commission for Bible reading notes. Little did I realize that I was landing on my favourite type of writing, or that a decade later I would have published over 1000 of them in various forms. I’m so grateful. I love writing for New Daylight and Day by Day with God – they remain firm favourites.

Would you like to win a copy of the wonderful BRF 365 Book of Bible Reflections? I have one to give away, and will announce how you can win in my newsletter on 1 February. If you don’t receive my monthly missive, you can sign up here.

Happy birthday, BRF! I look forward to continuing the celebrations with you in 2022. Grateful to be associated with you all.
