The Little Book of Advent: Daily Wisdom From the World's Greatest Spiritual Teachers
Canon Arthur Howells

The Little Book of Advent is an indispensable collection of readings from some of the most celebrated modern-day spiritual writers, with passages specially selected for each day of Advent.These carefully chosen insights come from men and women, lay and ordained, across the denominational spectrum, and their wisdom is combined with both a suggested scripture passage, and a prayer to make your own.This book can be used either for self-reflection or to spark discussion in groups during an Advent course. It is a volume that will become a treasured part of your prayer life during the run-up to Christmas, and can be used year after year.Canon Arthur Howells is a retired priest, having served all his ministry in the Church in Wales.
