A Piece of Orange

A Piece of Orange is a beautiful collection of poems straight from the heart of someone who seeks to know the heart of God on a daily basis. Lorna has explored in depth what it looks like to fully embrace the character of God in how He feels about us and gently leads us into a space of reflecting that in our walk with Him.

The end of chapter reflection questions are great, not only for personal study, but they work well as group study questions too. The poems are cleverly layered and provide wonderful opportunities for in-depth discussion as we unpack the truth of God’s word. No matter how far along the journey you are with Christ, the questions will help you and others examine yourself and grow more in your likeness of Him.

I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Lorna for many years, and in that time I’ve been impacted by her passion for the Lord, the Word of God and the people of God. Her hunger for the Scriptures and desire to see God’s people equipped and empowered not only motivates her service to others but also pulses through the pages of this book. I pray as you read that you will catch not only her heart, but also the heart of the One at the centre of these words.

What poignant and emotive thoughts and pictures are conjured up by the words of these poems. Sometimes speaking to God, sometimes God speaking to us, always rooted in Scripture, each one helps us reflect again on the goodness of Jesus in our lives. Sometimes heart-warming, sometimes challenging, each poem lodges a droplet of God’s life into your soul, which will strengthen, encourage and inspire.
