The Deep End

The Deep End invites readers to come on a journey through the story of Lukes Gospel and to follow Jesus as he makes his way to Jerusalem. Through a series of reflections on the Sunday Gospels of Year C, it offers a fresh perspective for anyone who wants to explore how the Gospels are relevant for today. Jane and Trona believe the Word is alive and active (Heb 4:12) and through it we can reflect on the complexities of our lives. Today, in a world threatened by ecological break-down, inequality and division, the message of Jesus as presented by Luke has much to say to us. Jesus is someone who has come to deeply challenge peoples expectations and bring about Gods dream for the world, where the last will be first. We are invited to hear Gods voice within and find our way as followers of Jesus of Nazareth, cultivating inclusiveness, compassion and a love which can turn the world upside down. The book includes tips for prayer and meditation to nourish ourselves along the way, as well as practical suggestions for building communities of welcome and love. There is a particular focus on our call to care for Gods creation. There will be many surprises and challenges as we travel through the year; Lukes Gospel offers a radical vision which inspires and gives hope and invites us to continue the narrative.
