Each day, we will post a short article by one of Darton, Longman and Todd’s amazing authors, offering a personal reflection on our current situation in life.

We hope it will give you a taste of the depth and diversity of DLT’s list – books for heart, mind and soul that aim to meet the needs and interests of all.

Today’s post is by Jonny Griffiths, author of The 100 Word Bible: The world’s bestselling book – in 100 pages of 100 words. You can buy a copy of the book here.
