A Celebration of Winter

by David Adam

Much of the inspiration for David Adam's writing comes from his deep appreciation of the miracle of creation. This series affords him the opportunity to focus in turn on each of the seasons in order to help the reader come to a greater awareness of its significance in terms of the Christian life. In this volume, illustrated in full colour with fine art paintings, he provides prose, poems and prayers that reflect the joys and the hardships of the winter season, paying special attention to Advent, Christmas, New Year and Epiphany.

"'It is a gentle read, peppered with beautiful illustrations which reflect the rich hues of the autumn, whilst provided a timely reminder of the hand of God in each of the miracles of the season.' A Celebration of Autumn reviewed in 'Life and Work' Magazine. '[This] erudite illustrated collection of poetry and reflections incites us to... recognise hope, rebirth and promise in perpetual cycle of nature.' A A Celebration of Autumn reviewed in the 'Methodist Recorder'."
