On 21 April Queen Elizabeth II reaches her 90th birthday. The weekend of 12–15 May will see national celebrations for this great event.
With a foreword by Her Majesty herself, this coffee-table paperback uses The Queen’s own words to draw out the central role that faith in the Lord Jesus Christ has played and continues to play in her life.
The book is full of photographs which chronicle the life of perhaps the most famous woman in the world. The words relating to Her Majesty’s faith are drawn mostly from her annual Christmas TV addresses to the nation, which seem to have become more and more explicitly Christian in content in recent years.
Sold in packs of ten (available to order now from www.cpo.org.uk or 01903 263354), it is designed to be a conversation starter with friends about ‘the King that our Queen serves’ – namely Jesus. It gives Christians the opportunity to make good use evangelistically of this national event.
