We relate to our surroundings by sight and sound. Together with our other senses we are able to interact with people and situations. But are these enough? Is more happening around us than we understand? Are we missing out on a further perspective?

This book, ‘Focusing beyond the horizon,’ looks at the Biblical character of Samuel in the Old Testament. Described as a prophet, or “seer”, he saw more than the material world around him, being enabled to understand something of God’s bigger picture.

Looking at the way in which God worked in Samuel’s life, each bite-sized chapter in this material explores some of these factors and how we can also understand our world from God’s viewpoint.

Questions and reflections on this material are also included, being suitable for both individual consideration and small-group discussion.
