Breathless joy!

THIRTY THOUSAND DAYS:
The Journey Home to God
By Catherine L. Morgan
Christian Focus. 219 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 781 917 831

The simplest way to give an idea of the contents of this encouraging book is to list the chapter headings: See Eternally, Worship Wholeheartedly, Walk Purposefully, Care Passionately, Give Generously, Hold Loosely, Love Deeply, Stand Firm, Choose Light, Rest, Unhooked and Unhindered, Home.

Catherine Morgan weaves together Bible truth, examples from her own journey and quotes from writers well known for their ability to whet our appetites for eternity (C.S. Lewis, Joni Eareckson Tada…) in an exuberant style that is at times almost breathless. She reminds us that godly living is so much more than rule keeping, that Jesus offers us joy, freedom and abundance in place of the pretended value of busyness and other people’s opinions.
