A month in the presence of the mother of Samuel
Hannah might seem to us impossibly remote: a woman in a desert town who lived three thousand years ago and as many miles away; a second wife who longed for a son and then - extraordinarily - gave him away. Like a reality

TV show's all-seeing camera, the Bible connects us intimately with Hannah, showing us her tears and the tensions at home. It captures every word of this faithful woman's spontaneous song of praise.

The 30 meditations in this book encourage you to spend a month in Hannah's company Each day links an aspect of Hannah's story with a Bible reading, which is accompanied by a short reflection and a prayer.

It is said that we can't really know a person until we have walked a mile in their shoes: why not spend a month walking in Hannah's faithful footsteps, to see where she and God might lead you?
