Listening to the Music of the Soul
The Archbishop of York's Advent Book 2025
When it comes to inhabiting life fully, Mary is surely one of our greatest role models. ‘My heart praises the Lord; my soul is glad because of God, my saviour,’ she sings in the Magnificat. Her response to the Angel Gabriel’s announcement that she is to bear the son of God is rich in nuance, contradiction and paradox.
These very characteristics inspire Bishop Guli to make connections between the themes of Advent and her own experiences – and to invite us to do the same.
In its advocation of the weak and marginalised being brought centre stage, the Magnificat is a song that opens us to the possibility of transformation, and this theme resonates through all the chapters that follow: Flight, Violence, Angels, Fear and hope, Reconciliation, Darkness and silence, and Light and space.
Bishop Guli’s forced exile from her homeland has echoes of the flight into Egypt; the murder of her brother Bahram during the Iranian Revolution of the slaughter of the innocents.
Intriguing explorations follow of how angels continue speaking to us today; how fear of what might happen prevents us from living well in the present; how pain and loss can be transformed by the power of beauty; how daring to dwell in darkness and silence can lead to new life; and how important it is to find light and space, signified by the candles of Advent.
Deepening its resonance, each chapter has a QR code which is linked to a piece of music, and many readers will be delighted to find several that featured in Bishop Guli’s popular broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
At the end of each chapter are 3 reflection questions that can be used for personal reflection or could be used in a group setting.

O Come Emmanuel
Reflections on the Advent Antiphons
This beautifully illustrated, full-colour daily Advent companion explores the ancient biblical names and images for the coming Messiah familiar to most people from the hymn, ‘O come, O come Emmanuel’.
Well-known writers offer a total of twenty-four reflections, one for each weekday of the four weeks of Advent. The writers each offer three reflections on one of the seven antiphons: O Wisdom, O Adonai, O Root of Jesse, O Key of David, O Morning Star, O King of the Nations, O Emmanuel. Lastly, there are three reflections on the Magnificat – Mary’s Song – which the antiphons have been heard alongside since at least the eighth century.
Each day includes the text of the antiphon from Common Worship, a Scripture reading exploring its biblical roots, paintings of the antiphon as a focus for meditation, a reflection, a challenge to ponder and an Advent prayer.
The volume also includes an introduction explaining the rich history of the antiphons, recommendations for further resources including musical settings as well as suggestions for how to use the antiphons in local worship and study groups.

Beginnings and Endings (and What Happens in Between)
Daily Readings from Advent to Epiphany

This book of daily readings reflects on the stories of six groups of people and individual characters from the Bible. Each provides a focus on the idea of beginnings and endings, and each gives us a glimpse into the human experience in between.

BRF Advent Book: Donkey Roads and Camel Treks
A Pilgrim's Guide for Advent
The lectionary readings for Advent speak of making a straight path towards God, but many of us find our own route decidedly winding.
Biblical characters in the story of the incarnation are called to set out on the road to discipleship using any means of carriage they can.
This book offers user-friendly encouragement (with the occasional spur onwards) to explore what helps and what hinders us in this journey to deeper encounter with the flesh and blood God whom we find in scripture, in our lived experience and in the least of his sisters and brothers.
