Divine Sparks - Donna Lazenby

Many of our everyday encounters in the world are touched by the divine, if only we were aware of it. We may find it easier to experience God in the great moments of our lives, but God often finds a humbler dwelling-place. Can we learn to be alert to the presence of God in small moments of unexpected joy and human encounter, and also to hear God’s voice in the world’s cries of protest against alienation and injustice? Donna Lazenby calls us to be attentive to signs of God’s transforming, in-breaking life reaching out to us in the most prosaic places: in the office, a city street, even in a packed tube train.

The Revd Dr Donna Lazenby is Lecturer and Tutor in Spirituality and Apologetics at St Mellitus College, London, and winner of the John Templeton Award for Theological Promise in 2011. Her latest book is Divine Sparks: Everyday Encounters with God’s Incoming Kingdom (SPCK 2017).
