A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME
Everyday Expressions from Scripture
By Timothy Cross
Christian Focus. 224 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 781 915 530

This gospel-centred, easy-to-read book by Timothy Cross considers many sayings in everyday speech whose origins are in the Bible.

In addition to explaining each saying in its Scriptural context, each chapter, typically of five or six pages, explains the gospel very clearly to the unbeliever and contains much encouragement for the believer too. There are also many helpful quotes from hymns and such evangelical ‘worthies’ as J.C. Ryle and Jim Elliott.
