  Day by Day with God are Bible reading notes specifically written for women. All the contributors are women and write from a woman's perspective. The entries for each day contain a suggested Bible reading, with the key verse written out in full, a helpful comment that engages heart and mind and a short reflection or prayer. The regular team of contributors are all excellent writers. Whatever your current situation in life, you will be inspired and encouraged by these notes. In this issue: Gardens Wendy Pritchard 1-14 September; Esther Rosemary Green 15-28 September; Healthy eating Liz Pacey 29 September-12 October; Joseph Jane Grayshon 13-26 October; 'You raise me up' Tracy Williamson 27 October-9 November; The quest for joy Mary Rimmer 10-23 November; Fear Amy Boucher Pye 24 November-7 December; Advent Celia Bowring 8-21 December; and What brings delight to God?

About the contributors in this issue: Celia Bowring has always worked alongside her husband Lyndon in pastoral ministry and, since 1983, at CARE, focusing especially on writing prayer resources and other publications. They love living in London and have two grown-up sons and one daughter. Amy Boucher Pye is a writer and editor living in North London. She is writing her first book, tentatively entitled Beloved Am I. An American by birth, she delights in all things British, especially her husband and children. Jane Grayshon, a midwife, mother and vicar's wife, is a popular speaker and writer of nine books including her bestselling autobiography and, most recently, a poignant book that sheds light on a child's experience of abuse. Rosemary Green divides her time between her supposedly retired husband, her local church and her family, with 14 grandchildren aged from 5 to 24. Liz Pacey is a Reader in the Church of England and works as a freelance writer and speaker. She is a compulsive knitter and runs courses exploring the links between knitting and spirituality. Wendy Pritchard is married to John, who is Bishop of Oxford. She enjoys supporting John, tending her large garden, visiting her elderly parents and appreciating her four small grandchildren. Mary Rimmer is a vicar's wife and mother of four - two at university and two at school. She is a regular New Wine seminar speaker and loves watching films, preferably with a bag of Maltesers to hand. Jean Watson is a writer, a spiritual director and a director of a local counselling service. Her work has included teaching, editing and writing for different age groups and media - books, magazines, radio and TV. Tracy Williamson shares a music and teaching ministry with blind gospel singer Marilyn Baker. Although profoundly deaf, Tracy loves to communicate and teaches in workshops and conferences as well as being the author of several books.
