Synopsis

This title contains daily Bible readings and reflections around the theme of pilgrimage. It includes reflections on the seasonal celebrations, the values we live by, some of the other 'red letter' days in the Church calendar - and how we go about discovering more of God's perspective on our lives. Reflections interspersed with an imaginary pilgrim journey, through the city streets and beyond, finding insights into faith along the way. It helps us to think about the choices we make at this time of the year. Includes material for group discussion. It is suitable for: those looking for the BRF Advent book - Bible readings and reflections for every day between December 1 and January 6; new Daylight readers; and, those who read the author's other book, Good Enough Mother . This title covers such topics as: Introduction; December 1-7 - 'Eat, drink and be merry'; December 8-14 - 'Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can'; December 15-21 - heavenly perspectives; December 22-28 - pilgrims to the manger; December 29 - January 4 - travelling into tomorrow; and, January 5-6 - the way ahead. Each week begins with a brief introduction to the overall theme and then unpacks the theme over the following seven days, with Bible readings drawn from across Scripture.

Media Reviews
From The Good Bookstall - October 2010 I have reviewed BRF Advent to Epiphany books in the past by browsing through them but wanting to keep them for reading properly when Advent started. This time I began to read and found myself reading on and on, completely absorbed in the pilgrimage Naomi Starkey was leading. The theme is a walk through an imaginary cathedral city; first through the town centre, then the suburbs, before going out into the country and viewing the city from a hilltop. Back into the city the next week is spent in the cathedral and the following week we travel home through the countryside to where we part from our fellow pilgrims on a quiet beach. Every day we are encouraged to think about different issues arising from what we see around us and relating that reflection to the chosen Bible reading for the day. The complete reading is here in the book, the reflection is well worth time spent meditating upon and the closing prayer/reflection for the day is well worth remembering long after the Advent season.
