Every Then and Now

Every Then and Now is a beautifully crafted poetic journey into the miracles of Jesus – told not from a distance, but from within the moment itself. These poems breathe with humanity, imagination and reverence, drawing readers into the thoughts, anxieties and quiet revelations of those who stood at the very edge of divine intervention.

What makes this collection especially compelling is its gentle invitation to the reader. Each poem lingers beyond the final line, prompting reflection: Where has Christ met me? When has He intervened just in time? Lorna masterfully bridges Scripture and contemporary faith, allowing the ‘then’ of the Gospel to become the ‘now’ of our own lived experience.

Devotional yet imaginative, thoughtful yet accessible, Every Then and Now is a work that will enrich personal reflection, small group study or quiet moments of prayer. It reminds us that the One who once turned water into wine still transforms our lack into abundance, our shame into honour and our questions into worship.

In this book, Every Then and Now, Lorna Beedham raises our faith through the pages of the poems beautifully penned on the miracles of Jesus. More than a book of poems, it is a resource that allows us to pause at the end of each miracle and chapter and encourages us to activate our faith and our prayers with the Word of God. These poems are written in such a way that they bring alive the very people that Jesus healed and are a reminder to us all of what the great commission has for us. May Every Then and Now encourage, equip and activate our faith again, in the awe and wonder of our God, the miracle worker. I highly recommend Every Then and Now to you and to share it with others.
