Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains, in verse form, depictions of events in the Bible as they may have happened. Often ordinary or even unknown people, carrying out their daily activities, would be suddenly immersed in a supernatural occurrence. One example would be the shepherds looking after their sheep and then, in the middle of their work, becoming witnesses of the birth of Jesus Christ. Some of these poems seek to evoke the atmosphere on such occasions, and the reactions of the people present. Other poems are portrayals of the actual events themselves, while others again describe the present day commemorations of those special events which make up the Christian Church's Year. All royalties from the sale of this book go to the Little Way Association which, taking its name from the Little Way of St Therese, Patroness of the Missions, works to provide spiritual and material help to village communities in the developing world.
