The Impossible

Tracking Luke’s gospel. A book by JOHN BLOOR…St. Mary’s Island Church Lay Reader

First century teaching for twenty-first century people

John Bloor uses Luke’s gospel to follow an incredible man – Jesus of Nazareth – as he journeys to his destiny in Jerusalem.
On the way Jesus meets men and women with the same problems and questions as ours. This book shows how the impossible relationship with God became wholly possible. John opens the gospel story in a new and imaginative way, drawing at times

on his own experience.

What has been said about “The Impossible”

The Impossible Book Cover

Bishop Graham Cray – Archbishops’ Missioner.

John Bloor brings Luke’s story of Jesus alive, showing its relevance for today and how it has spoken to his own life. If you think you know the gospel story well you should still read this book – you may discover things you had not noticed. I thoroughly enjoyed read “The Impossible”.
I highly recommend it to you.

The Ven Dr Paul Wright – Archdeacon of Bromley and Bexley.

Those trying to find God in a complex and materialistic world could do no better than to begin with this excellent work by John. He has made possible what seems impossible – and that is to understand something about God who created our universe.
