Journeying to the Light is intended to be read daily through the period from Advent Sunday to the Epiphany.  It is largely based upon one of the Eucharistic readings each day.  There are variations, and it can be adapted to be used whatever the length of Advent, and for individual or group use.  The author weaves contemporary trends with biblical themes and with events of his own life.  It has at its heart the Incarnation; anticipated by the prophets; joyfully experienced through the words of Luke, and proclaimed to the nations through the visit of the Magi, as recorded by Matthew. 

The author is an Anglican priest, but as this book is based upon the the Revised                                       Common Lectionary, it is ecumenical in its reach, as many of the readings coincide with those appointed for both the daily Mass in Roman Catholic Churches and in Anglican Churches.  Equally, the daily reflections, may be of use to all individuals who are seeking to establish a regular period of contemplation and space through Advent and    Christmas, which is traditionally full of distraction and busyness.

Bishop Brendan Leahy is joined by Archbishop John McDowell of the Church of Ireland in commending the book for our use, and two Church of England bishops add their voices to suggest that a deepening of our reflection, throughout these days of joyous hope, helps us to seek further the source of the light that was coming to            humanity, that is Jesus, son of Mary, redeemer of the world.

A Church-goer, a seeker after truth or, quite possibly in these tumultuous days, a Christian soul whose path has become darkened or distracted in recent years will find some thing in these pages to encourage them beyond written texts of any kind to set their eyes towards the light and their heart to the divine.
