Following on from the success of At Home in Lent, Gordon Giles
takes a journey through Advent to Christmas and beyond in the
company of familiar seasonal and domestic objects and experiences.
Focusing on the everyday stuff we typically associate with this
time of year, including some things not so festive, he reflects on
their spiritual significance, meaning and message in today's world.
Beginning with chapters on journeying and travel, the book moves
though major Advent themes of expectation, waiting, mortality and
hope to the joy of incarnation and salvation. Praise for At Home in
Lent: 'It is a great idea and an easy read.' The Reader 'Well
written and thought provoking, this really is a book for personal
devotion which will enable us to make an unusual, though
worthwhile, journey.' The Methodist Recorder 'An amiable, slightly
talkative companion.' Church Times
Here is an original way of approaching Lent, one that will
encourage you to consider your own faith journey in the light of
the Easter story. Inspired by Ian McGregor's Radio 4 programme,
'The History of the World in 100 Objects', Gordon Giles spends each
week in a different room gleaning spiritual lessons from everyday
household objects. As a result, you might discover that finding God
in the normal pattern of life - even in the mundane - transforms
how you approach each day. Running as a thread through it all are
the seven Rs of Lent: regret, repentance, resolution, recognition,
reconciliation, renewal and resurrection.

Life involves many 'comings and goings', as we make our way along
the path of faith day by day, guided by God's Holy Spirit. This
book of readings for Advent and Christmas invites us to make a
journey through time, from the end to the very beginning of all
things. The daily reflections work backwards from the traditional
Advent focus of the 'Four Last Things'- death, judgement, heaven
and hell - via Jesus' life, death and resurrection, to come at last
to the incarnation and the events commemorated at Christmas itself.
In the following days, the focus turns to Christ as the Word of
God, present at the dawn of creation. Along the way, we 'visit'
some of the actual Holy Land sites associated with Gospel events,
drawing new insights from the familiar stories.
Make Christmas special this year by exploring the legends, message,
and theology behind some of your favorite carols and hymns. This
book of daily devotions will take you from December 1 to January 6,
from the first days of Advent, through Christmas, ending at
Epiphany. Each day, Gordon Giles invites you to draw closer to God
through spiritual and historical explorations of beloved, familiar
music.
As you read and reflect, you will be asked to consider the meaning
of some of the famous Christmas carols that we sometimes sing
without a passing thought. You will be introduced to obscure saints
as well as living poets and musicians of faith, and you will hear
the timeless truths of love and forgiveness, pain and loss,
darkness and light.
"If, like me, you have always been confused by the imagery of 'The
Twelve Days of Christmas, ' you will find this book both compelling
and illuminating. Gordon Giles has selected a kaleidoscopic mixture
of musical settings of scripture, hymns and carols, from Gibbons to
Taize, Plainchant to Kendrick, via Bach, Berlioz, Vaughan Williams,
Menotti and many others. He writes with engaging insight and
perception, providing us with material for reflection, prayer and
meditation."
