In the process I have come to recognise many connections between them.’Drawing on his experiences of ministerial formation in South Africa during the latter years of apartheid, and of thirty-five years of ministry in Yorkshire, the Bishop of Selby John B. Thomson takes readers on a unique and fascinating journey into discipleship and ministry as seen through the eyes of a cyclist. Bishop John explains:ohow we learn most, as Jesus taught us, through the gift of strangers; othe importance of devoting time to learn the history, stories and language of the people and the places we serve;othe nature and character of suffering; how we can live creatively and hopefully, even in tragedy;okey themes of Christian leadership, concluding that the majority of Christian leaders - like those who lead cycle rides - are relatively unknown but actually have the most impact on others;othe ways in which cycling, discipleship and ministry must involve the body and the senses;othe importance of tackling new and challenging issues that are not always easy to resolve. In a world besotted by speed, we see how contemplative travel deepens and expands so many aspects of our lives. Bishop John proves to be a wise and entertaining guide and companion on this journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41615037890657,"sku":"9781913657901","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27468524.jpg?v=1721807767","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781913657901-on-your-bike","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
