Free delivery on orders over £10

Where The Lost Things Go is a 'practically perfect' Lent course for small group study – or for reading on one's own – based on the popular film Mary Poppins Returns. Poet and minister Lucy Berry skilfully draws out some of the themes of the Oscar-nominated movie (which stars Emily Blunt, Ben Whishaw and Lin-Manuel Miranda) and shows how we can consider them more deeply alongside passages from the Bible.

The course is based around five weekly sessions, entitled:

  • Were we dreaming? Belief and unbelief
  • This can't be happening! Loss, denial and acceptance
  • The Banks children? Or the Bank's children?
  • Lost people, being found: Fogs and the wilderness
  • Light! A seriously heavy symbol

Each session includes suggested clips from the film, as well as discussion questions, Bible readings and closing prayers. There are detailed notes, advice and additional questions for leaders to help them plan an enriching group study in which all group members can feel accepted and involved. And the book contains an additional section for those who wish to make a deeper study of Mary Poppins Returns' songs.

    Full of insights into life issues raised in the film Mary Poppins Returns. Loss and lost-ness, belief and relationships, money and darkness are all considered alongside helpful passages of Scripture. A series of questions aid discussion in a non-threatening but challenging way. And if that sounds contradictory wait till you read about fogs and wildernesses! I'm REALLY looking forward to facilitating this bright but depthy five week course.
