For the many thousands of clergy, readers and lay preachers who, week by week, seek inspiration as they prepare sermons on the lectionary readings, here is an expert, wise and extremely down to earth guide. A companion to the main volume covering the Sunday readings in years A, B& C, this invaluable volume covers all the principal feasts and festivals that do not, or do not necessarily, fall on a Sunday - major saints' days, holy days such as Christmas Day, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Ascension Day, other special Sunday celebrations such as Mothering Sunday, Bible Sunday, Harvest Festival, Remembrancetide and more. John Pridmore's outstanding gifts as a preacher and writer were learned in Cambridge where he taught theology and the hard reality of the East End of London where there was absolutely no room for platitudes or escapist readings of the Scriptures. Wisdom, strongly tempered by reality, shines out from every paragraph. Many such lectionary commentaries and companions exist already, but John Pridmore's contribution to this genre will be widely welcomed.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This book carries on from the much appreciated The Word is Very Near You: Sundays, by the same author. This time, he comments on Lectionary readings for ‘the church’s high days and holy days that are never, or only sometimes, on a Sunday’. Christmas Day and Epiphany, Holy Week and Ascension Day, All Saints and Mothering Sunday, Bible Sunday and Harvest, plus over two-dozen ‘principal festivals’ are among the 45 occasions focussed on. The comments are invariably lively, laced with vivid illustrations, sometimes surprising, always fresh, showing a recurring concern for justice on earth. If you base your preaching on the Church’s Lectionary, I am sure you will find this a helpful and stimulating resource, well worth consulting as you prepare your sermon.
