As he follows the changing seasons, Heber-Percy moves from the seemingly small and mundane to ponder big life questions - can you find heaven in a Londis shop, why is the Bible not like the Highway Code, what on earth we are all doing here - while gently offering up wisdom and sustenance for all, regardless of faith and creed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA truly remarkable work, \"Reflections and Meditations\" is a treasure trove of insights and wisdom that will captivate readers of all ages and backgrounds.
