 rite ... so that heaven will be different
( Lee Roddy ) Nearly all my books have been written to fill a gap, and to reflect
life as it is, rather than as we might wish it to be. Some of them aim to
bring hope and help to hard situations. The best selling 'Gift of' books are
intended to bring a touch of faith to gift occasions and have been
translated into 14 different languages. |

Mum - to - be
Shares the excitement hopes and dreams experienced by parents to be
everywhere. A gift to give and to be dipped into during those special nine
months of waiting.
Dear God
Although this baby is so very much
a wanted child …
Longed for
Planned for,
Prayed for …
You know that there are times when I’m afraid
I wonder whether I will cope
With labour and delivery.
And how I will be able
To care for all the needs
A tiny baby has …
Hour after hour
Day after day
Twenty four seven

Grandmother
Prayers, reflections and emails to raise a smile and offer practical support
for grandmothers everywhere.
Second chance
Now that I’m your granny I’ll …
Re-tune my thoughts
To fun and really looking
Instead of tidy house and fancy cooking…
I’ll do less correcting and more praising
Less tugging and more hugging
Less saying and much more praying
Now that I’m your granny

The Gift of
Marriage
Wisdom, prayers and quotations to celebrate marriage in all its moods.
Today...
If we knew that life would end tomorrow, would we still waste
time on our quarrels? Would we fritter the precious hours away, taking
refuge behind the wall of icy silence, creeping out only to hurl another
barrage of angry words - invisible missiles but …as deadly as broken
bricks or bottles.
If we knew that life would end tomorrow surely we would treasure today.
Fill the hours to the brim with love and laughter instead of anger and
bitterness, creating jewel-bright memories which would lighten our hearts
….
If we knew that life would end tomorrow … but who can say that it will
not? The only time of which we can feel certain is today. So today … I
will say ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘I love you’.

Child
Explores the joys and dreams and the struggles of parenthood from the day
the new born arrives until they ‘stride out of the door to take on the
world.’
Thank you
Thank you, God, for this family. Thank you that as well as the
expense, the worries and the grey Mondays, we have bright days like this …
filled with love and laughter. Help me to appreciate it now and remember
it later when the storms blow up again. And today and every day - thank
you, God, for this family.

Loving God but still Loving You.
Is written for those who struggle to keep their faith and marriage together
when their partner does not believe.
‘What do you say to your children when you believe one thing and your
husband believes another?’ ‘How do you break the news to him that you want
to go to church?’ What do you do about giving money to the church? My
husband says that all the clergy are interested in is your wallet.’ ‘I
believe in Jesus and my husband doesn’t and it can be very lonely at times.
Couples who come to church together just don’t seem to understand.’

Dear God it’s Me and it’s Urgent
A collection of prayers and meditations which reflect on every joyful and
painful aspect of a woman’s life.
First Day at School
Father, today is the day -
the one I’ve both dreaded
and looked forward to;
the day my youngest child starts school.
How fast the years of babyhood and preschool have flown by, Lord
Although at times they did seem everlasting -
So that today
the door of that phase of our lives
clicks softly shut
as she steps out
into a wider world …
