Digital download: A resource for Advent and Christmas especially for those working with young people or children in a school, community or church setting – but also full of lively prayers, scripts and ideas for anyone looking to break out of a rut by using ‘the remembered Bible’.
Janet Lees is a URC minister and a speech therapist, and has been Chaplain at Silcoates School in Wakefield since 2010. This is the third collection of her work and her first from working with a school community. Her previous books are Word of Mouth: Using the Remembered Bible for Building Community, and Tell Me the Stories of Jesus: A Companion to the Remembered Bible (Wild Goose).
