Advent

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.

This book presents the complete texts of the gospel readings (from the RNJB) for every Sunday throughout the three-year cycle of the Sunday lectionary in the Catholic Church during the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.

An Advent journey through the Bible, exploring the brokenness of the world and the gift of a saviour to bring healing and wholeness.
