This book is designed to facilitate a 40 day, shared journey through the book of Jonah. The radical revelation of the book of Jonah is that God's grace is wild. It refuses all human attempts to tame, domesticate, or restrain it. This grace continually bursts forth, in the most unexpected of places,and reaches out to the most unlikely of people.

Pilgrimage is a very rich metaphor for the Christian life. It evokes much that is foundational for an authentic self-understanding as a disciple of Jesus. Each of these books contains 40 individual meditations that are designed to give pilgrims 'fuel' for the journey. These meditations will inspire faith, encourage self-reflection, and help the reader to set their own spiritual life in the context of Christian discipleship down through the millennia. The individual meditations are inspired by an eclectic mix of sources- Scripture, Christian hagiography, Church History, contemporary events, and scientific discovery. Each meditation is accompanied by questions which guide personal meditation, as well as suggestions for a prayer response. Although these books are suitable for private use, it is hoped that groups will use them with private daily use being augmented by group time of sharing and praying together. Suited for Lent/Advent use.

Pilgrimage is intrinsic to the experience of faith. This book offers would-be pilgrims some 'fuel' for their journey. It contains 40 'bite-sized' meditations with questions to guide reflection and suggested prayer responses. Used over 40 days, ideally as a group resource with times of sharing and prayer, this book will 'help you on your pilgrim way'. Stephen John MARCH is an applied theologian who served in France as an ecumenical missionary practitioner for 14 years and who now heads up a 'Fresh Expressions' project in an Anglican parish in Leicester, England. A fascinated student of the earlier (and less widely known) parts of Church history, he seeks to share with others the wonder, encouragement and help he has found in studying these texts. Evangelism has been described as 'One beggar telling another beggar where to find bread'; it is in that spirit that this book is offered to a wider reading public.

This book offers 40 daily readings, with reflective questions and suggested prayer responses, that are designed to enable those on spiritual pilgrimage find 'fuel' for their journey. The meditations are drawn from a wide range of spiritual writings in the Christian tradition and over its 2,000 year history. It is from those who have journeyed well themselves that we find most help for our own pilgrimage.
