A Handful of Light - Michael Mitton Published by BRF |
 |
||
Advent and Christmas fall during the dark winter months in
the northern hemisphere, when days are short, temperatures low
and the prospect of spring remote. Taking the theme of ‘hope’and interweaving it with the themes of light and darkness
found throughout the Bible, Michael Mitton has written readings
for every day of the season, from 1 December to 6 January |

| Hope is a word that resonates at any time of year, however. This book can also be read by those who want to reflect on how the yearning for ‘something more’ buried in every human heart connects with the hope of salvation manifested in the baby born in the stable. That same yearning connects, too, with the hope of the final revelation of God’s kingdom, when one day the full glory and light of his love and majesty will be clear for all to see. | |||
