Seven Stories that Shape Your Life

Gerard Kelly is a writer, preacher-poet, mac lover, coffee drinker and twitturgist. He and his wife Chrissie have lived and worked in the UK, France and the Netherlands and are popular speakers at conferences in Europe. In 1995 they founded Cafe-net, the European missions project that became The Bless Network in 2004. In 2009 they wrote 'Intimate with the Ultimate': a book on prayer and spirituality drawn from their many years of teaching and leadership across Europe. They currently live in Basse Normandy, France, where Bless are establishing a missional community.

I have been waiting for this book! Gerard has addressed questions many Christians like myself have been asking. If I have been recruited into the church solely so that I can recruit others, I may miss the primary calling on my life; I am here on planet earth to find my purpose!
