Bob Gass: Grief, Faith and Writing The Word for Today

Bob Gass: Grief, Faith and Writing The Word for Today

play
0:00-0:00

Part two of Gary's chat with Bob Gass, the man behind that little devotional you've probably seen lying around - The Word for Today - now read in a dozen-plus languages and beamed out across the globe. Recorded in front of a UK studio audience (plus a few Facebook questions thrown in), Bob gets into the meaty stuff: grief, growing up in a strict Belfast church household, why he reckons churches don't talk about money enough, and the wedding-day prophecy that basically predicted his whole writing career.

Along the way there are stories of readers who've been gobsmacked by the devotional's uncanny timing, some classic Bob one-liners (decapitation for boring preachers, anyone?), and a genuinely moving reflection on what it means to grieve well. Stick around for his simple two-word trick for "restoration" - rest and store - it's a ripper.
