Haphazard by Starlight: A poem a day from Advent to Epiphany
Haphazard by Starlight: A poem a day from Advent to Epiphany
£10.99
Advent is celebrated when the year is becoming darker and colder, moving into the death and dormancy of winter. Before we can greet the coming of the light, we need to engage with some themes that are challenging and occasionally fearful. Like the Magi who travelled a long distance to search out and adore the infant Jesus, and who took some wrong turns on the way, we too have a journey to undertake before we find that we have ‘Walked haphazard by starlight straight into the kingdom of heaven.’ (U.A. Fanthorpe, BC:AD)
Haphazard by Starlight is a companion volume to Janet Morley’s bestselling Lent book, The Heart’s Time. Here the reader is given the opportunity to engage in a pilgrimage of the heart, through Advent and Christmas to the feast of Epiphany. Each day, from 1 December to 6 January, offers a poem (sometimes explicitly Christian, sometimes not) and an accessible commentary that is both critically informed and devotional in intent.
