A Handful of Light by Michael Mitton

A Handful of Light by Michael Mitton

The Advent and Christmas season is one we associate with both darkness and light - the darkness as the days draw in, and the light of candles, of hope, the flame of our faith stoked up by the birth of Jesus. A Handful of Light, the BRF Advent book for 2008, is based around the themes of hope, light and darkness in the Scripture. Looking at how what we believe in makes us feel, it has daily Bible readings and reflections for every day from December 1st to January 6th, but can also be used at any other time of the year for those who wish to delve deeper into their relationship with God. A Handful of Light is ideal for those looking for their first Advent book, or for those looking particularly for devotional material. This book also contains questions for reflection at the end of each reading which can be used as the basis for a group discussion.

This is a fantastic devotional book for those pursuing a deeper and more intimate relationship with GodPete Hughes, Ordained Pioneer Minister, St Mary's, Bryanston Square, London From North Sound Radio, November 2008 Why not prepare yourself for Christmas one day at a time, starting 1st December, with this book of 'hope-full' daily readings? This is the time of year when most people long for something to lighten their darkness and Mitton's thoughtful writing, focusing as it does on hope, could provide that inner illumination. These devotional, scripture-based pages, usually four a day, point out how we might come closer to God at this season and learn how we could best live for Him in the devastation of our hurting world. Read it to prepare yourself for Advent, or give it as a Christmas gift to be read at any time of year. Reviewed by Betty McKay
