Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

• A substantial, original and varied resource for worship from Ascension to the end of the church’s year in November – the longest liturgical season.
  
• A stellar line up of contributors, all with excellent track records in their own right. Collectively, they have sold over 100,000 Canterbury / SCM books.
  
• The companion volume, Darkness Yielding has sold over 5000 copies and is in its third edition.

Covering the liturgical year outside Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter, this collection of reflections, readings, poems and prayers focuses on the life and ministry of Jesus – the rich subject matter of the lectionary readings during Ordinary Time. In addition it includes meditations by Rowan Williams and others for the major feasts of Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity, Transfiguration, Holy Cross Day and other special occasions in the calendar.

This richly varied resource will be welcomed by all seeking fresh inspiration for preaching, leading worship – formal or informal, conducting retreats or quiet days. Containing around a hundred short and extended items by the very best of today’s theological and spiritual writers, it also provides rich fare for personal devotional reading.
