Holding On and Letting Go is a richly textured volume by Chris Leonard presenting real-life stories which paint a picture of 'God with us' in a very real way through the ups and downs of life.

Woven through with Bible reflections and prayers, Holding On and Letting Go offers both comfort and encouragement to those of us struggling to believe in God's intimate concern in - and glorious purposes for - our own seemingl 'ordinary' lives.

Chris Leonard tutors on creative-writing courses. She is the author of many books, including Waiting: Reflections, Stories, Prayers, which is also published by SPCK.
