BREATHING DEEP: LIFE IN THE SPIRIT OF EASTER

Ian’s third book in the series of real-time reflections through word and photo on the seasons of the year BREATHING DEEP: LIFE IN THE SPIRIT OF EASTER began as a personal journey through the Easter season. Each of these meditations and images reflects on how the great resurrection story might open up the possibility of something new in our lives. They also come with a provocative edge, challenging us to find the courage to live in the spirit of the resurrection when everything seems to gravitate towards death and destruction. The images are all from the western isles of Scotland.

SOME SMALL HEAVEN: SEEKING LIGHT IN WINTER

Ian’s book SOME SMALL HEAVEN: SEEKING LIGHT IN WINTER began as a personal journey through Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, written in real time. Exploring a path through those festivals, Some Small Heaven seeks to discover the light within the darkness of winter – and within all our winters – to find some small heaven each day, even when life comes at us tough, hard and bleak. Ian’s images in the book are all from the coasts of Devon and Cornwall in Winter. As with its predecessor Wilderness Taunts the core of each reflection remains as it was experienced, considered and written at the time. There is darkness – and there is light!

WILDERNESS TAUNTS

 Wilderness Taunts: revealing your light began as a personal journey through Lent, shared each day on Morning Bell. Ian re-imagined the temptations faced by Jesus as taunts that might throw us off balance – critical voices from external sources and from within ourselves. His experience was that when faced with honesty and openness, the truth of these taunts, however disturbing, also begins to reveal some deeper truth. In the darkness, our light is revealed…
