From Advent's Alleluia to Easter's Morning Light: Poetry for Worship, Study and Devotion

From Advent's Alleluia to Easter's Morning Light: Poetry for Worship, Study and Devotion

by Ann Weems (Author)

Synopsis

Weems's lyrical poetry is a reminder of the importance of true discipleship. She challenges Christians to look past the ongoing distractions of the busy work of church meetings and socials, new programs and technology, and inevitable conflict, while reminding readers in her singularly expressive voice that the institution of the church is, at heart, quite simply all about Jesus. This collection of poems, written to be used in worship, in personal devotions, and in discussion groups, is organized to follow the liturgical year from Advent through Easter.

Kneeling in Bethlehem

In a style that is contemporary, reverent, and faith-filled, the poet offers a collection of meaningful poems reflecting on the Christmas season.
