Product Description

Emerging from the author’s recurring vision of little lights coming on in the darkest places, Lighting the Beacons seeks to expand our horizons by daring us to believe the realities of heaven can break into the present day.

It is the Holy Spirit who brings hope by communicating love from the heart of God – the God who is always waiting, always longing to welcome us home. Being warmed by God’s love kindles the flame of faith in our hearts. This flame may become a beacon; it may become a tiny candle! The work of God is always fragile, but as we see in the life of Mary, obedience and prayer can have the most profound effects. We may never know how our small pinprick of light has helped someone engulfed in darkness to find their way.

Bishop Jill’s wise, passionate book is illustrated throughout with stories from contemporary culture, scripture and the writings of the saints. It captivatingly conveys how, as beacons of God’s light and love, we can help to bring heaven to earth at this very moment – and transform our society into ‘a land of hope and glory’!
