This book arises from my increasing awareness that the Lord's Prayer contains all that Christians really need to know; it is the very essence of the Gospel... My prayer is that you will have a sense of the great privilege that has been granted to us of holding a precious gem in our hands of being able to delight in its radiance play with its many facets plumb its depths gain a sense of peace & security from its touch & in so doing deepen our awareness of our union with Christ.' In these Bible readings for Lent & Easter Joanna Collicutt shows how growing as a Christian is rooted in the prayer Jesus gave us. As we pray the Lord's Prayer we express our relationship with God absorb gospel values & are also motivated to live them out. As we pray to the Father in union with the Son through the power of the Spirit so we begin to take on the character of Christ. The Holy Week readings encourage us to pause watch & wait at this special season; commentary is kept to a minimum & we spend time reflecting in the light of the Lord's Prayer on Luke's description of Christ's passion & resurrection.

Includes:: questions for group discussion which can form the basis of a group study through the weeks of Lent.

And then there was David Bowie the uber-freak with the mismatched pupils the low-tech space face from the planet Sparkle. This was Bowies third appearance on TOTP but this was the one that properly resonated with its audience the one that would go on to cause a seismic shift in the Zeitgeist. This is the performance that turned Bowie into a star embedding his Ziggy Stardust persona into the nations consciousness. With a tall flame-orange cockade quiff (stolen from a Kansai Yamamoto model on the cover of Honey) lavishly applied make-up white nail polish & wearing a multi-coloured jump-suit that looked as though it were made from fluorescent fish skin (chosen by Ziggy co-shaper the designer Freddie Buretti) & carrying a brand spanking new blue acoustic guitar a bone-thin Bowie appeared not so much as a pop singer but rather as some sort of benevolent alien a concept helped along by the provocative appearance of his guitarist the chicken-headed Mick Ronson with both of them unapologetically sporting knee-length patent leather wrestlers boots (Bowies were red). Most people are scared of colour Bowie said later. Their lives are built up in shades of grey. It doesnt matter how straight the style is make it brightly coloured material & everyone starts acting weird. Suddenly Bowie
- a man called alias
- had the world at his nail-varnished fingertips & in no time at all he would be the biggest star in the world.
