Overview

“I’ve lost my passport – can you help me?” “Should I board this flight?” “Please could you pray for me?” “What will heaven really be like?” In the bustling excitement of Heathrow airport, join chaplain Steve Buckeridge as he is asked these and many other questions, some practical, some spiritual, some bizarre. Not everyone is travelling on an exotic holiday and a wide range of human needs and emotions need to be dealt with. Whether it is babies or boarding cards, baggage or bereavements, life at an airport can be many things - other than dull! As Steve retells some of the experiences he and his wife Judi have had in their work, read some wider reflections on the planes and pains they have seen. Written for a broad audience, you will find encouraging illustrations from aviation on the journey of life, faith and living as a Christian. Get ready for take off!
