World Book Day - The Best Seller!

Today in UK is World Book Day and so when I was in school today doing assemblies for some 5-11 year old kids they were all dressed up as characters from their favourite stories. We had Snow White, Harry Potter, Footballers, Super Heroes and variety of animal characters.

I was actually telling the kids two stories Jesus told some 2000 years ago about the lost sheep and the lost or prodigal son. Two amazing stories from what is still the best selling book in the world - the Bible.

These two stories remind us that not only is there a God who made us but that same God is a God who loves us and that when we go off track in our lives - as we all do - he is longing to bring us back to his plans and purposes.

At the same time as telling these stories I am in the midst of reading "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren, itself a best seller. A book that quotes often from the Bible to remind us. God has a plan and purpose for us all, and he doesn't want us to miss it. Why not check out my web site www.looking4god.org if you want to know more about that purpose.
