  Prayers, readings, poems, songs and stories from around the world reflect the meaning of Christmas as it is celebrated throughout the world, especially in countries where Christian Aid is working. Many original and new pieces encourage us to see what the incarnation means today for those like Mary and Joseph who, subject to the whims of dictators and tyrants, sought shelter, first in the stable then in a strange land - the fate of millions of people still. Well-known names such as Janet Morley and Garth Hewitt join with new authors, many from third-world countries, to create a festive worship collection that aims to both inspire and challenge during the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany.
