What would it have been like to have experienced the Gospels firsthand? Imaginative Prayer gives young people the chance to sit in Scripture and imagine walking alongside Jesus as he performs miracles, encounters the marginalised and teaches us the ultimate act of sacrifice.
Imaginative Prayer has been developed alongside Reading With God – A Translating God resource which is a new approach to exploring the Bible with young people and TakeTime jalfkjdlakfjlkdsj.
