Barefoot Ways by The Revd Canon Stephen Cherry
A sequence of beautifully crafted prayer-meditations for daily reading from Advent through to Candlemas. By the author of the hugely successful Barefoot Disciple (2010) and Barefoot Prayers (2013) Especially helpful for people with a heavy workload - whether lay or ordained From the Introduction: 'Barefoot Ways offers the reader a poetic, prayerful meditation for every day of December and January. It connects with the spiritual themes of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany and takes the reader from the first days of a new Christian year to the feast of Candlemas on February 2nd. These three great Christian seasons are divided into thematic areas, each of which is given a brief introduction...'The distance from Advent to Candlemas is considerable, and there are many ways across its fearful and fascinating terrain. I offer here some 'barefoot' ways - by which I mean ways that are both down to earth and yet full of spiritual aspiration and hope...'
Like the Psalms in honesty and depth, these are poems that can help us pray, and prayers that can awaken us to the poetry in everyday life* Dame Laurentia Johns, OSB, Stanbrook Abbey, York *
