Place for God

In The Lent Factor, Graham James wrote about 40 people (one for each day of Lent) who had inspired him and helped to shape his spiritual journey. In this new book he turns his attention to places, from the Flinders Ranges in Australia to Devil''s Island (French Guiana) via the Holy Land, Center Parcs and Holborn Underground Station.

As with the previous book, each chapter of A Place for God offers a daily reflection, beginning with a suggested Bible reading and ending with a short prayer, and employing the same engaging combination of autobiography, history and spirituality.

Some of the locations are well known and others very obscure: what they have in common is the part they have played in the author''s life, in enabling his ''discovery of the divine in the landscape and the built environment, and of a God who always locates himself in our world, supremely revealed in Jesus of Nazareth''.
