You will gain deeper understanding of Easter's meaning

This book explores themes of loss and rebirth through a coal-mining town's story.

Free delivery on orders over £10

Based on sermons originally delivered by Bishop Tom Wright during Easter 2007, this is a book for Lent that uses the story of a coal-mining town in northern England as a modern parable for loss and rebirth. The background history of the town - the closure of its mine, the subsequent strike and then the regeneration of the area - is given in the introduction, allowing readers to fully appreciate the context of the book, and make the most of its study questions.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    The Bishop of Durham wrote this book in commemoration of the terrible events in May 1951 at Easington Colliery when eighty three men died after a violent underground explosion. It is a collection of the sermons he preached during Holy Week this year in the Church of the Ascension at Easington. The theme of these sermons is bereavement and loss. The bishop explores the events of Holy Week from Palm Sunday through to Good Friday and Easter Day, and relates them not only to the suffering of the people of Easington, but also to a wider public who may be perplexed and angry at the mystery of death and deprivation. These are thoughtful, sincere and, in the end, hopeful sermons and will be read with interest by all who ponder the meaning of Easter.
