Lord of time - Frank Topping

Time for mystery, time for laughter, time for prayer - these are some subjects of these meditative poems and prayers. Interspersed with black and white photographs by Carol MacMahon, they come together to form an inspiring book, built around the concept of God as Lord of Time. 'It seemed as if this had been written specially for me' - that was the most frequently repeated phrase when listeners to Radio 2 wrote to the BBC asking for a copy of the script of Frank Topping's morning meditations on Pause for Thought. 'What made me decide to broadcast them regularly,' says Frank, 'was the huge response from listeners - literally thousands.' In the Frank Topping series, the Lutterworth Press has published many of his most popular radio meditations. These collections of thoughts and prayers remain a pleasure to use and also a handy reference for those who want to find their favourite meditation.
