It’s a while now since we first came across Jay Jeffries, an Australian who has a passion for connecting with those millions of spiritual searchers who never come across the teachings of Jesus simply because Christians are rarely in the sort of spaces they inhabit. She was thinking especially of the sort of people who might go to Mind, Body, Spirit fairs simply because they look like the only places where you can easily access spiritual wisdom for living your daily life.
We heard from Jay because she was wanting to create a Christian resource that would connect with such people, and it was something that resonated right off with us, not least because Olive’s book Spirituality to Go is aimed at exactly the same readership. So we each agreed to contribute to her enterprise, and it’s now all completed. Some of our friends are also contributors (notably Barry Taylor and Steve Hollinghurst), and it’s looking great. The title is Awaken the Spirit: the sacred texts of Jesus. For more information, see Jay’s website here. Take time to explore: among other things, there’s some stunning artwork on the website.
