Advent

The Art of Christmas offers fresh, illuminating meditations on how the birth of Jesus is depicted in some of the world's greatest pieces of Christian art - the perfect Advent book for 2021.

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.

The Secret Christmas leaves the familiar outward celebrations and goes in search of people's deepest thoughts, feelings and memories at Christmas. It finds protest and doubt as well as anticipation, faith and delight revealed in the writings of Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis and many others. A beautiful gift.
