Your needs met – an extract from Holding onto Hope
Do you crave comfort food when you’re feeling tired and overwrought? How do you look to God in times like these?
That’s a question I explore in Holding onto Hope, the new book of my reflections and my dad’s wonderful artwork. Each week during Lent I post a new video that explores one of the chapters (and it’s played on UCB1). Today we move from the images of creation to those God employs in the Bible about how he welcomes us into the kingdom.
Author, retreat leader and mentor Tony Horsfall says about it:
‘I know how difficult it can be to hold onto hope. At times it feels like a very slippery rope. The paradox, however, is that we are being held as much as we are holding. Amy’s carefully crafted devotions and deeply relevant prayers, together with her father’s simple yet illuminating artwork, provide us with the assurance we need in our distress. They help us to reach out to the God who is already reaching out to us. Here is a beautiful resource to enrich our times of reflection and longing for God, rekindling hope within us.’
