InWord Made Flesh, James Cary invites you to slow down and savour John 1:1–18, those astonishing verses often rushed through at carol services before we dash back into the cold night and try to remember where we parked the car.

In twelve short reflections, James helps you tune into the overture of John’s gospel with a mixture of biblical depth, personal story, humour, and cultural insight.

One moment you’re queueing outside King’s College Chapel on Christmas Eve, bonding with strangers in the cold; the next, you’re considering why Jesus becoming “meat” (yes, meat) shocked the ancient world. Expect references to Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, The Princess Bride and James's apparently everlasting Casio alarm clock.

This book will help you dwell with the Word who dwells with us. Rediscover the wonder of the Incarnation as Jesus steps into our world of darkness, confusion, joy, and longing. In twelve digestible doses.

Word Made Flesh comes as a PDF that you can either read from a tablet or print out for yourself.
