In his parables, Jesus used examples of human behaviour to open up to his listeners a deeper understanding of God. Today's world is no less rich in such similes. In this book, Chris Morley, a regular contributor to 'Pause for Thought' on Radio 2's Wake up to Wogan, takes examples of quirky human behaviour and uses them to offer ways into reflecting on God and our response to him. These Advent reflections allow us, in the busy weeks before Christmas, to remind ourselves what it means that God embraced humanity, and rejoice in the Spirit of God which is within us all.
