Synopsis
If we seek God, we will see Him revealed in the people and events in our lives. Including seniors. Tools, sport, work, children, mates …can each help us to reflect on faith. That is the purpose of this book. As you read these reflections, it is likely they will conjure familiar images for you. I hope they will also help you to meditate on God and your relationship with Him. Each of the sixty brief reflections is inspired by everyday experiences and emotions. This is not a book to be read from cover to cover. It is designed to be dipped into, sequentially or not, with favourite passages revisited from time to time. Perhaps it will inspire you to add your own reflections on the theme. This is a book for men and about men and the realities of their lives, passions and relationships.
