A collection of daily readings that will banish your hectic nature and sooth your soul on the run up towards the mystical season of Christmas.

Jane Maycock has produced this beautiful book of daily readings from 1st - 25th December. As a priest, a vicar’s wife, and a mother of four, Jane can empathise with the burdened feeling of business. So in her book she invites you to stop, sit down and consider what Advent really means.

The book cleverly blends together real-life experiences, insights from biblical authors, poetry from Robert Southwell and others, and contemporary hymn writers including Timothy Dudley-Smith. The result is 25 windows through which you may explore Christmas themes such as:

• Wilderness

• God’s choice

• Conflict and Confrontation

• Nativity Scene

• The Second Coming

Linking her readings together is the belief that we are loved by God and invited to join him daily in an intimate relationship. These readings will offer you hope, joy, and plenty of encouragement on life’s journey through Christmas time to experience God’s wonder.

The Revd Jane Maycock was Director of Ordinands in the Diocese of Carlisle from 2001-2007. She currently lives in Cumbria with her family and writes regularly for a number of Christian publishers.
