www.inspiremagazine.org.uk ınspıre Stories to lift your spirits 8 Look out – and look up!
THE New Year always provides a fresh beginning, and this month’s issue is full of inspiration – and great opportunities. It was a joy to host the 2011 Inspire Awards at Westminster, and you
can read all about it on Pages 8-9. Watch this space for news on the 2012 Awards. As it’s our special Holidays issue, you’ll find not just great holiday and
short break ideas, but also a fantastic competition on Pages 18-19 to win a short break for two in the Lake District worth up to £550. Don’t forget to enter! And as well as our usual Giveaways, we have copies of Nicky and
Sila Lee’s parenting book (4-5) and Jim Currin’s book on sharing your faith (12-13) to give away. Add 2012 Games Torch Relay ideas for your church (14-15) plus a New Year devotional from Rob James (16-17), and you have an issue that keeps on delivering. May God bless you and yours this New Year
