Ben Norton, an ordained pioneer minister in the Church of England, has just brought out a book of down to earth, practical meditations.
Many of them are based on his work with XY Church for men in Bridlington and he never fails to shed new light on familiar verses. Espresso Scriptures are short direct and creative reflections which began life as a weekly e-mail for people interested in faith but not too much in church. Perfect for the morning - rip out a page and grab yourself an espresso and pause for a moment. This is also an ideal book to have to hand for those informal gatherings around the table, in the pub or, in Ben’s case, on the campsite.
Ben Norton is passionate about reaching people with the good news of Jesus Christ in a way that is relevant and rooted in their everyday lives. These short reflections based on selected bible passages are accessible and challenging - both for those wit a strong Christian faith and for those with none"
Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York
"Challenging and inspiring, these Espresso Scriptures will creatively encourage you to look differently at your weekly challenges, through Christlike lenses. Ben is a gifted teacher, so prepare to be surprised and ready to change !"
Mark Russell - Chief Excutive, Church Army
Sometimes i would be at work, sat at my desk, caught up in thoughts dictated by the "rat race"... then in my inbox an espresso scripture would appear.. it was enough to distract my thoughts and realize the beauty of life."
