An inspirational source of daily readings for Advent. 'The Little Book of Advent' is a compelling anthology of readings from spiritual writers for each day of Advent, with accompanying scripture and prayers to help guide daily reflections.

Advent is often the poor cousin to Lent. But like it's six-week relative, Advent is a penitential season of preparation for a feast, and this companion volume to Arthur Howells' extremely successful 'Little Book of Lent', published earlier this year, will lead you to new spiritual insights as we await the birth of the Christ child.

This book can be read on your own or with others, used either for self-reflection or to spark discussion and share insight on God's truths. This edition would be perfect on which to base an Advent course or to use during Advent as a talking point for home or cell groups. It is an ideal gift for friends, family, godchildren or godparents - indeed anybody marking the season of Advent.
