To quote from the introduction ‘Gentle rain on tender grass’ is steady, non-dramatic and refreshing. It is a lovely picture of continual, persevering study of the Word of God’. The whole introduction is useful and informative, showing how to get the best out of this book, focussing on our reading of the Bible and related passages and the prayers that arise out of our study. To do the book justice a reviewer would need to use the book as the author intends, all I have been able to do is take an overview and assess my impressions. I found Sharon James daily commentary a meditation of great worth, the prayers she has quoted or written exactly right for the day and the text for the day apposite and memorable. I am able to recommend this book whole heartedly.
