Wake Up to Advent! by John Sentamu
Wake up! Clean up! Feed up! Grow up! Explore these gospel imperatives with Archbishop Sentamu in this lively and invigorating sequence of Advent meditations
This is a book full of insight and anecdote, gracefully combined to both engage us and lead us forward in our life's pilgrimage with Jesus* Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster *
‘This book is the perfect antidote to the stress and commercialism of our preparations for Christmas. Here is simple but satisfying food for prayer and reflection, shot through with personal stories and enlivened by a deep faith. This is soul food in which all can feed’. * Sir Philip Mawer, Canon Provincial of York *
‘In a book packed with helpful biblical readings and inspiring personal stories, Archbishop Sentamu encourages us – and challenges us – to wake pp, clean up, feed up and grow up in Advent. Here is an Advent Calendar to open daily, and with mounting joy and expectation, as we prepare for Christmas.’ * Jane Williams, Assistant Dean, St Mellitus College, London *
‘For those of us who find mornings difficult the last thing we want is someone shouting to wake us up. More helpful is a hot invigorating drink! This delightfully written book does not shout at you to wake up, clean up, feed up or grow up. Rather, it stimulates and motivates, engaging intellect and heart, Bible and tradition. The Archbishop brings Advent to life, injecting hope into despair, urgency into complacency, and demonstrating God at work in the world.’ * David Wilkinson, Principal, St John’s College, Durham *
