Imagining the World – Book launch 12th July

Daily Reflections for Creation Season

In the Cathedral in Peel at 4.15pm on Sunday 12th July, Rev’d John Mann’s new book will be launched.  Creation Season is in September, and “Imagining the World” provides a reflection for each day of the season.

Revd John Mann writes:

I have written a book being published by Darton, Longman and Todd to celebrate the Creation Season. It is called ‘Imagining the World’ and has a reflection for each of the 34 days from 1st September to 4th October.

I will explain a little more about the book at the launch on 12th July. The books will be for sale on that occasion, being sold by the Churches Bookshop. If you are buying a copy, I would urge you to get it from the shop, either then or later, as they will have a supply of the books at no cost to the shop, so each purchase means that the full price of £10 will support out Island’s Christian bookshop. Best wishes to you all for a summer break and a return for the Creation Season in September! 

Designed for personal use, a four-session study guide has also been created by our Diocesan Net Zero Officer, Louise Whitelegg, and it will be available for use by groups.

There are notes here about John Mann’s book, by the publishers, Darton, Longman and Todd.

You can also listen to a radio feature about the book broadcast on At Your Service last weekend.  In the feature hosted by Judith Ley, John is joined by Louise Whitelegg, and by Graham Makepeace-Warne, CEO of Manx Wildlife Trust, to discuss the book and its implications.
