SynopsisWhen Paul Hudson eagerly accepted the call to pastor the struggling church, he had no idea what to expect. He only hoped he could please the Lord with his plans and hard work. Together, Paul, his wife Eunice, and their son Tim packed up and moved halfway across the country to do the Lord’s work.
It didn’t take long for Paul to turn Centerville Christian Church around. Attendance was up–way up. People came to hear the charismatic Paul Hudson preach. The choir added members, and the children’s program was at an all-time high. A building program was in the works. Everything was going so well. If only his wife could see it his way. Still, he tried not to let her quiet presence disturb him.

..... So what is a Shofar?
Shofar, the Hebrew word for trumpet is mentioned over 70 times in the bible. It is an ancient musical instrument made from the horn of a Ram.
The shofar was used in biblical times for various occasions ranging from calling the armies together, calling people to Worship and spiritual awakening. It is specially used for the call to repentance.

Hi Ope & Activate members
I really enjoyed my first meeting at Activate last night - it was very welcoming & everyone was friendly & made me feel part of the group.
'... and the Shofar blew' was a good summer holiday read and it was great to share opinions, views & laughs together.
I would recommend Activate to anyone who enjoys reading - just give it a try - they are a friendly bunch, it's good fun & there's no pressure.
Thanks girls

I found 'and the Shofar Blew' thought provoking and entertaining. It seems significant that we were discussing a book with this, with Yom Kippur being on the 28th of Sept. I have started re-reading the next book, 'Totally Forgiving Ourselves' and it is amazing how it ties in with the actions and themes of this book. I can't help remembering Paul, as I read it, and that sets me off thinking about my own life.
