Some reviews and messages from the first book:

“Thought provoking reflections, providing much needed spiritual nourishment to myself and my family living amid COVID.”
Miss A Parry
“Clear, profound and practical – you do not want to miss this book”
Mr A Joyce
“Absolutely brilliant and a wonderful mix”
Mr J Griffiths
“Very pleased with this book. It is a good mixture of thought, prayer, and even humour! Necessary antidotes in these troubled times! Every Christmas I send my church friends’ a religious item or booklet with their Christmas card; this booklet is is perfect for that!”
Mrs M Round
“It’s like the start of a joke: a Jesuit, a Carmelite, and a Parish Priest walk into a room.. but in this book, we get the humour, but we also get real answers we need for this Pandemic. Well done to all involved”
Mr M Sharrockian
“I’ll read a reflection per day. I’ve really enjoyed it so far, and pondered a lot”
Mrs C Roberts
“I bought this for my mother who has struggled during lockdown with no Mass and Church engagement and it was something she really valued”
Ms CR
“Reflections for everyone – particularly liked the one on Resting and making time. Would highly recommend and coming back to it on a regular basis, as each reflection and read gives us something different to ponder. A timely publication that will bring you much joy (if you let it).”
Amazon
“I have recently received my copy of God in the time of Covid 19. It could not have been received at a better time and just the pick me up which I needed. Beautifully written and beautiful reflections. Prayers and blessings to you all and stay safe.”
Elena Scaiola
