  No competition at all - As in the companion volumes, Ashes to Glory, A Herald Voice and Risen, Ascended, Glorified, Martin Dudley draws us into the riches of contemporary and historic liturgy - The theme of 'Crowning the Year' is an inspiring one to reflect on in the midst of the sometimes glorious, but often dull days of autumn Although not normally considered to be a liturgical season, autumn does have a degree of unity in religious and secular terms. These reflections for use from September to November explore, among other things, the idea of times and seasons, angels, All Saint's Day and the different kinds of saints, the glorious company of the Apostles, the Christian commemoration of the war dead, and the kingship of Christ over all things.
