Advent

The Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2023

Pastor Russ Ramsey narrates anew the greatest story ever told-the true tall tale of the coming of the Christ. The story encompasses the whole of the Old Testament and all of human history, unveiling God's longsuffering, loving pursuit of his people. Rediscover how the purposes of God culminated in the coming of Jesus, in twenty-five readings ideal for Christmas or any season of meeting the Savior.

The Little Book of Advent is an indispensable collection of readings from some of the most celebrated modern-day spiritual writers, with passages specially selected for each day of Advent.

The season of Advent traditionally involved meditation upon the 'Four Last Things': heaven, hell, death, and judgement. The Love That Moves the Sun revives this ancient practice and marries it with contemporary concerns, recovering the hope and belief that all things are moving towards union with God.

Christmas and Easter, Advent and Lent, each focus on the central beliefs of Christian faith - Incarnation and Resurrection. In this collection of seasonal reflections, Samuel Wells unpacks the substance of these key Christian doctrines, and explores their practical implications for living as Christians in the world.
