Gazing on the Gospels

'Gaze on him . . . Consider him . . . Contemplate him . . . As you desire to imitate him.'

This advice from St Clare of Assisi is the key to unlocking the door to the heart of Jesus' teaching. Her words provide a pattern of meditation that brings alive the Gospel reading for every Sunday of the Revised Common Lectionary.

'At every point the author persuades the reader that the Gospel readings really are relevant to our contemporary lives . . . she offers many images that will help congregations and preachers alike . . . For its sheer poetry and imagination, Judith Dimond's Gazing on the Gospels . . . is well worth buying'. Robin Gill, in Outlook
