  Followers of Jesus are always just passing through , yet God wishes us to embrace the challenge of life on earth to the full. Weaving together insights from the Bible with issues of daily concern, this book offers humour and insight. The seven sections comprise storytelling, reflection and Biblical material. The first four are told in fictional voices: the Quartermaster (how to care for body, mind and soul), the Custodian of Beauty (how to discover true beauty in yourself and others), the Memory-keeper (how to build a storehouse of thankfulness ), a future citizen of Heaven (Hilary herself on living as a Christian in a beautiful, flawed world). The final section consists of dialogues between Bible characters and God, followed by the author's meditation and prayer. There are also two lists of Bible themes: References to central themes from the Maker's instruction and Shorthand list with Maker's instructions .
