More DescriptionThe Year the Locust Ate is a collection of daily devotions written throughout the year of the Coronavirus pandemic. Covering almost 200 biblical characters and referencing 59 of the Bible's 66 books, it offers daily responses to biblical texts, one for each day of a (leap) year.Celebrating the start of a New Year with The Ram's Horn and concluding with The Last Day, the collection applies biblical texts to everyday living. Along the way, it draws upon timeless biblical wisdom to respond to the challenges of the 2020 pandemic and offers practical hope to a locked-down people. The Year the Locust Ate is a reference to the prophet Joel's prophecy of hope for a people facing ruin and his promise of recompense in God. In the same way, these 366 devotions urge a personal and collective return to the gospel of Jesus as the hope for the future and comprise a spiritual memoir coloured by the events of the 2020 pandemic and the UK lockdown.
