Archbishop Derek Worlock writes of the series: 'By the application of a Scriptural passage to a human experience or contemporary / pastoral reality, followed by a reflection and prayer, readers are led to see their daily life in the light of the gospel. This is a process which is at the heart of the Church's evangelising mission. I wish the series every success.'
Archbishop Keith Patrick O'Brien writes: 'To those who think the Bible is "out of date" and can say nothing to us in the world of today, I commend the Scripture for Living series. The Word of God is still alive and active - and the series convinces us of this again. Reading it will make you think - and help you live!'
Cardinal Cahal Daly writes: 'The Scripture for Living series is a timely and welcome approach for people who seek to be guided by God's Word in the day-to-day living of their lives. Eschewing any apparatus of Scripture scholarship, it neverth6less embodies the results of that scholarship in an easily accessible form. Scripture for Living applies Scripture to life and to concrete experience in a way which will help readers to experience it as Good News, offering light in moments of darkness, hope in times of discouragement and guidance in perplexity. I hope the series will be widely read.'
Every day we are confronted by a wide range of decisions: some are apparently trivial; others will alter the course of our lives. How do we know which way is 'right'? Is it possible to discern God's will? Patrick Purnell answers the question, 'Which way do I choose?' by showing how Scripture can help us find the right way forward.
