Lucy Rycroft – författare

Stillness is an alien concept in today's busy world. Communication, entertainment, work and relationships seem accessible to us 24–7, and it can feel impossible to change the pace. In Be Still, Lucy Rycroft takes us on a journey of 30 Bible devotions, reflecting on the concept of being still. From Moses leading the Israelites through the Red Sea, to the raw emotions of the Psalms, to Jesus calming the storm, the focus of this book is how we, as Christians living in the crazed busyness of the 21st century, can absorb biblical truths to help us discover what being still looks like for us today.

How does a Christian parent tackle common parenting issues? What can we bring to the table that will not only help our children to navigate a complex world, but to do it with faith and a growing awareness of God’s presence with them? The Parenting for Faith podcast has been equipping parents since 2018, with over 200 episodes in its back catalogue. This book draws out wisdom from our guests, brought together by the Parenting for Faith team, on 52 relevant topics for parents and carers.
