In fifty pithy and engaging daily reflections from Ash Wednesday
to Easter and beyond, Rob Marshall leads us on a pilgrim journey to
the Mountain of the Transfiguration.
The story of Jesus displaying the overwhelming glory of God to
three chosen disciples is one of the most potent yet mysterious
stories in the gospels, and a prelude to all that will occur in
Jerusalem.
Popular broadcaster Rob Marshall explores the many layers of the
Transfiguration and relates them to ordinary human experiences -
journeying, prayer, revelation, tiredness, sleep, fear, doubt,
waiting, questioning, listening, suffering, vision and much
more.
Mountaintop encounters with the divine are transformative, but
like the disciples we are not meant to stay there. Instead, we
return to the realities of daily life, changed forever by glimpsing
the glory of the God. Transfiguration will help you take the power
of divine revelation into your ordinary daily Christian life.
Rob Marshall has been a regular presenter of Thought for the Day
on BBC Radio 4 for almost two decades. He is currently Rector of
Digswell, Welwyn Garden City and Honorary Canon of St Alban's
Cathedral. He frequently leads pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
