How do we listen for the voice of God within the soundscapes of our lives and how do we find our own voice? Our lives are lived against the backdrop of an internal and external soundscape. The sounds, noises and music with which we are surrounded in modern life have spiritual implications. There is also a soundtrack within us that plays constantly through memory, dreams, anxiety or thought. What are these soundscapes, and how do we listen for the voice of God within them. How too do we find our own voice? These questions bring together the previous academic interest (history and sociology) and the present, practical life (public ritual, music, and public speaking) of an author who is sensitive to the cadences of modern life, and reflects on this through the prism of Scripture and the tradition.

Our Sound is Our Wound and So What are You Waiting for?

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book 2010 Any reader who would like to establish a more creative relationship between the experience of God revealed in the Bible and their experience of the twenty-first century will welcome this book. Lucy Winkett has an easy, anecdotal style which is both allusive and informative, allowing the reader to set off on their own reflective journeys. I particularly enjoyed her approach to the treatment of Scripture, seeking to rescue the living story from the often disjointed and fragmentary texts with which one is often presented in church services. Her ‘variations on a theme’ concerning sound, harmony and dissonance in the world and in the human heart were also stimulating.
