Advent is a time of wonder and waiting - but that's not a passive thing. We need to walk into Advent with our eyes open. We walk through a world where wars are being waged and babies are being born. We are humbled by our inability to do much about what is wrong. But we do our best: to be kind, caring, to understand the meaning of mercy. We do our best to be even-handed, to act justly. Words from the prophet Micah inspired this book. But it also reflects the words of a later prophet, George Fox: 'Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.' Join us on a cheerful, thoughtful, justice-seeking journey towards Bethlehem, a journey day by day through Advent.

If the Christmas season has become more of a chaotic consumer ritual rather than a nurturing spiritual time, you need this brilliant "Advent survival guide"! If you set aside just 10 minutes per day, Child of the Light will help you find your quiet center amid the stressful flurry of the November/December busyness. As you read the book's brief readings inspired by the season's carols and hymns, your spirit will be lifted, and your thoughts will be redirected to the purpose of the season: preparing for the coming of Christ. "Take time for God: that's exactly the challenge God gives us during this season of preparation," writes Richardson. "Personally and culturally, this time of year already seems to race out of control toward a Christmas finish line. In Advent, we are invited to take time out...[In] doing so, we nurture our spiritual self, that sometimes fragile part of us who longs for a connection with God." The reflections extend past Christmas to Epiphany, January 6, encouraging you to live into the joy of Christmas beyond traditional seasonal celebrations. A 5-week study guide is included at the back of the book, offering a simple structure for meetings: centering, reflecting, reading scripture, going deeper, and closing. The use of hymns and carols will engage even the most nonmusical among us to fully appreciate the lyrical richness of the season. Do you long for a more sacred and measured observance this year? Be joyfully carried through the pre- and post-Christmas pandemonium as a child of the light!

This 'visual pilgrimage' has been designed as a way for the whole family, individuals, church-based children's groups or schools to prepare for Christmas. First used in Lincoln Diocese, the material guides you through the Christmas narrative either as a daily devotion or a weekly project by using imaginative footprint illustrations (story map). The footprints can be coloured and cut out to make your own frieze at home, or photocopied to use with groups, and made into a long Advent frieze to hang on the wall or unfold on the floor. As the illustrations are coloured in, the invitation is for participants to think about where they are in the story and in their own faith journey. Alongside the story map itself, the material includes a large photocopiable 'Maporama', giving the geographical setting of the story, four ready-to-use sessions for use with children, separate mini maps for children and adults and 31 daily reflections.

With the season of Advent, the coming of Christ is imminent, and following the contours of the season leads through a rich time of preparation for God-with-us in the Incarnation. R. S. Thomas, a poet of waiting and anticipation, can be a profound guide for this season. His spiritual and poetic trajectory of discovering the presence of God - divine ‘frequencies’ - even in apparent absence, can help lead us into an Advent landscape of surrender, open-hearted discovery, epiphany and encounter. This collection of 28 reflections on Thomas’s poetry travels through the season, and follows one of the traditional patterns of themes explored in each Sunday of Advent: a Carmelite pattern of waiting, accepting, journeying and birthing.

Rather than criticizing trappings of the holiday season, this book looks at them from the viewpoint of Christian contemplation, once aptly described as "a long, loving look at the real." The author, a Benedictine monk who lives in the center of downtown Newark, New Jersey, invites the reader to join him on his daily walks as he points out dozens of often-unnoticed connections between our holidays and the spiritual meaning of Advent and Christmas. In a string of colored lights, a crowd of shoppers, or the window of a toy store, he uncovers such traditional Advent themes as watchful waiting, repentance, and selfless love. On the bustling sidewalks, he introduces us to Isaiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus himself, all speaking their ancient Advent and Christmas messages of peace and hope and good will.

It's time to journey to Bethlehem! Join us on a four week, daily devotional journey as we celebrate the coming of Emmanuel! What will our footprints look like? How will we be released from hopelessness, unrest, sorrow and loneliness; into hope, peace, joy and love? As we journey to Bethlehem together, can we invite Emmanuel, our redeeming, compassionate God to transform our story and illuminate our lives? Imagine... we're travelling together to Bethlehem, each carrying a light. Older ones helping the younger, in expectation of Emmanuel's coming. I'm envisioning a ribbon of light, the illumination of God's redeeming, transforming work in our lives, and I am hearing the words of Isaiah: The people who walk in darkness will see a great light... *Included in the book is an interactive candle-lighting script for families with young children.

A Devotional for 28 Days of Reflection and Change Not every pilgrimage requires travel. Some pilgrimages, like this one, can be embarked on without going very far from home. Whether a pilgrimage involves walking the Camino, preparing for Advent, or consciously marking off a period of time to make some changes in your life, what every pilgrim knows is that change does not come easily and rarely happens all at once. We don't change by suddenly deciding to change. We change in small ways when we daily open ourselves to the possibility that we too could be made anew. With this in mind, we pay attention. We keep our eyes and ears open for direction and our hearts open to the possibility of wonder and miracle. And when things go wrong, as they always do, we rejoice and give thanks anyway. These are what every pilgrim practices and what this book will, step by step, guide you through. Walking into the Light is a 28-day pilgrimage that takes us through dark times with the promise of light ahead. Each day on this journey, we'll be on the lookout for ways to better live our lives in ways which might invite the Divine to shine through. We'll also be listening for calling, staying open to wonder, and experimenting with practices for traveling light and keeping it holy. Through photos, stories, practices, and suggested readings, you'll be guided along in a way that sets you free to explore and find your own Way through. Some days it will all come together. Other days it won't. We expect this. Though we're headed towards mountaintops, we're ready for the valleys. Though we long to walk in the light right now, we're ready for the dark nights we'll surely encounter. That's the pilgrim life. Every day a new beginning. Blessings always and already on the way.
