    Crumbs... Series

    By Glenn Myers

    ()

    About this series

     

    The Christian faith is lived out sandwiched between God's big promises and life's small annoyances. In this series of wry and humorous short pieces, originally magazine articles, Glenn Myers looks at:

    • Hearing wrongly from God
    • Shallowness, and how to get there
    • The art of prayerlessness
    • Learning good sense from the minds of small children
    • The shortage of spiritual heroes
    • The biggest failure in the Bible

    And much else.

     

    Romance, bad luck, bad luck in romance, finding yourself in the wrong church, child-rearing, and facing chronic illness – all can make God seem far away and the Christian faith unreal. Or they can be the stuff from which hope and character are built.

     

    Welcome to life in the sandwich.

     

    Glenn Myers is a prizewinning writer, based in the UK, author of around 17 books. He is married with two grown-up children.

      Instead of nothingness, there's us. Instead of a blank oblivion, there are celebrity TV shows, duck-billed platypuses, galaxies, music, cheese, and you and I. There's got to be a story behind this.  How was this allowed to happen? How did nothing become something? And how did the something become this? Not to mention: Why is there suffering the the world? Or: Why are there three-toed sloths? And: How do I live a good life? Science explains why I evolved to eat bananas, but not the rest of this stuff. To explore that, we need something more than bananas.

      Six years before Covid, I suffered acute respiratory distress and spent four weeks in a medically induced coma. It wasn't Covid, but the treatment was similar. It took about two years to recover. A crisis or illness like this can make us focus. Instead of feeling Life is passing me by I'm not doing what I want to do I'm missing out I'm too busy We ask: What do I love? Who do I love? What am I for? Answering those questions is contentment instead of restlessness; it's finding our daily bread. This book is for everyone who doesn't want to learn big things without doing it the hard way.

    Author

    Glenn Myers

    Glenn Myers has been a writer and editor all his life. Brought up in West Yorkshire, he has lived in Los Angeles, Singapore, London and Cote d'Ivoire, but has settled with his wife in Cambridge, UK. As a journalist Glenn travelled widely to write a series of 11 books about the church in minority settings around the world. These books sold widely and were translated into many languages. Since turning to comic fiction, he writes about the invisible worlds that we all live in--much more exotic than mere reality. He was in a coma for four weeks in 2013, but assumes he's stopped hallucinating now. Glenn has also written non-fiction exploring the spaces between doubt and faith, and he blogs at slowmission.com. They have two grown-up children. He and his wife are members of their local Anglican church. He enjoys cafes, board games and his hammock, though not all at the same time.
