Hidden in Christ cover

Words are powerful - especially the ones we use about, and hear from, God.

'I noticed that single words from Colossians 3 began to bounce around in my mind, forming a new understanding of the gospel, and a new awareness of who I am, and who my brothers and sisters in Christ are.'

Memorising a passage and studying it in depth can offer a deeper sense of the meaning of each word. James Bryan Smith has found Colossians 3:1-17 to be a rich resource for understanding what it means to have our lives hidden in Christ.

Each of the thirty short chapters of this book bring out the main truth of just one word or phrase in this rich passage. You'll also find a simple daily practice to take up, reflection questions and a guide for five weeks of group discussion.

The essential message of Paul to us all.

This is an accessible, thoughtful book, which provides guidance on how to interiorise and retain the insights gained through each chapter...this book may well provide a fruitful way forward in deepening and awareness of the scriptures, and the reality of the divine word.
