You have a minute, Lord?

David Kossoff’s famous versions of Old and New Testament stories have made this award-winning actor a best-selling author. Much of their success lies in the easy, informal relationship with God that Kossoff gives the familiar Biblical characters.

This book, which Kossoff calls ‘a sort of prayer book’, has the same ‘easy way with the Almighty’. The prayers (‘written across a span of five years, never looked for, as they came’) cover a wide range of everyday subjects, and will appeal to those who, like Kossoff, find themselves puzzled and bothered by much that goes on in today’s troubled world. They are sad, funny, thoughtful and thought-provoking, and always addressed to God in the spirit of respectful familiarity, as to a friend.
