What if the stories we love are quietly pointing us towards the greatest story of all? From The Repair Shop to Call the Midwife, from The Great British Bake Off to Ted Lasso, the stories we return to time and again reveal something about who we are, what we long for, and the world we hope for.

In Looking Again: Finding God in the Stories We Love, Revd Mike Green invites you to see these familiar programmes through fresh eyes. Drawing on Scripture, personal reflection and years of pastoral ministry, he explores themes of restoration, presence, faithfulness, grace, hope and belonging, revealing how the deepest human stories echo the story of the God who became one of us.

This is not a book about finding hidden Christian messages in television. Rather, it is an invitation to pay closer attention. The stories that move us often awaken longings for forgiveness, healing, home and love. They remind us that we were made for something more, and they gently point us towards the God who meets us in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

Whether you are a lifelong Christian, someone exploring faith, or simply someone who enjoys thoughtful storytelling, this book will encourage you to slow down, look again, and discover that God's presence is often closer than we imagine.

Featuring reflections inspired by The Repair Shop, Call the Midwife, All Creatures Great and Small, The Detectorists, Ted Lasso, After Life, The Great British Bake Off and Gavin & Stacey, each chapter concludes with Scripture, questions for reflection and a prayer, helping you carry its themes into your own daily life.

Because once we learn to recognise God in the stories we love, we begin to discover that no day is ever truly ordinary.
