Day by day with God, September-December 2013 - Catherine Butcher

Day by Day with God are Bible reading notes specifically written for women. All the contributors are women and write from a woman's perspective. The entries for each day contain a suggested Bible reading, with the key verse written out in full, a helpful comment that engages heart and mind and a short reflection or prayer. The regular team of contributors are all excellent writers. Whatever your current situation in life, you will be inspired and encouraged by these notes.In this issue:GardensWendy Pritchard1-14 SeptemberEstherRosemary Green15-28 SeptemberHealthy eatingLiz Pacey29 September-12 OctoberJosephJane Grayshon13-26 October'You raise me up'Tracy Williamson27 October-9 NovemberThe quest for joyMary Rimmer10-23 NovemberFearAmy Boucher Pye24 November-7 DecemberAdventCelia Bowring8-21 DecemberWhat brings delight to God?Jean Watson22-31 DecemberAbout the contributors in this issue:Celia Bowring has always worked alongside her husband Lyndon in pastoral ministry and, since 1983, at CARE, focusing especially on writing prayer resources and other publications.
