Dreams have fascinated humanity for thousands of years. In today's sceptical culture, we tend to dismiss dreams as having little or no importance, yet almost everybody has at least one dream they remember, which may continue to affect them for many years. In the Bible, dreams and visions were seen as powerful ways in which God communicated with his people. Prophets, early leaders of the Christian Church, and rulers of foreign powers experienced dreams that had impact and consequence for the dreamer and those around them. Visions in the Night features many of these famous dreams, from Jacob's experience at Bethel to Paul's night-time vision calling him to Macedonia. Russ Parker's long experience of pastoral ministry is evident in the absorbing way he explores these stories, and in his encouragement to us to believe that God still speaks to his people today through dreams, offering fresh opportunities for healing and growth. Visions in the Night was first published as Dream Stories by BRF in 2002. This SPCK edition includes a new introduction.

Russ Parker—the Director of the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation—wants us to recognise the importance of our dreams, because God may use them as ‘the doorway through which he invites us to know ourselves and also to hear his visionary challenges to our lives'. In this reissue of a book first published in 2002, he urges us to ‘listen out for the voice of God speaking to us through visions of the night.' Parker devotes a chapter each to 15 significant dream experiences from the Bible. These range from Jacob's dream at Bethel through to Paul's vision of a man from Macedonia. All the chapters contain the background to the dream plus a section headed ‘Making it Personal', which indicates what we can learn from that particular dream. I find that everything Russ Parker writes is extremely constructive and helpful, and this is no exception. You might enjoy reading Healing Dreams too.
