BOOK REVIEW - Crumbs of Hope Prayers from the City
|
Crumbs of Hope is a unique collection of prayers and poems. The authors suggest that worship in the inner city can be a source of hope and inspiration for all.Not afraid to face the harsh realities of urban life, Crumbs of Hope celebrates the joy of Christian community and the presence of God in the most unexpected places. The prayers are inspired by the symbols of the Eucharist and shaped by rapidly changing terraced streets. Written with poignant humour which will appeal to individuals, groups and congregations, the reader is encouraged to adapt the material to reflect their own community's stories. Clare McBeath and Tim Presswood are ministers of the United Baptist Tabernacle, Openshaw and are engaged in community regeneration in East Manchester.
'This book is a feast of hope. Here is a down-to-earth resource for active compassion in a torn world. Act and celebrate witrh people in your church, the shopping mall, your family and friends and global neighbours so that people may live freely.' Geoff Duncan - Writer and Editor

Each chapter consists of a piece of creative writing, followed by six prose pieces; each of which is followed by questions, a suggested Bible passage, and a reflection.
