The coming of Jesus changed our world forever. During the season of Advent, we best prepare for the arrival of Jesus, the Coming One, by keeping our hearts and minds open and making room for him. Yet we allow things to get in the way.In this collection of 40 daily reflections for Advent, author Ray Simpson first outlines the roadblocks, such as materialism and clutter, that need to be cleared away so that we are ready for Jesus' arrival. Next, he identifies the signposts – prophecies, intuitions, stirrings – that help us to travel in the direction of what or who is coming. With these signposts clear, he then explores how we should prepare ourselves for the arrival of Jesus. And finally, Ray considers glimpses of glory – fresh expressions of the Light of the World.This meditative and enlightening approach to journeying through Advent will be an invaluable accompaniment to your own preparation for the arrival of Jesus.

Lent is a time for change; a time for cutting back, pruning and growing in strength so that we can live more fruitful lives. Just as with a well - tended garden, we have to work at ourselves to have a full and productive life. This book is for those who want to explore the way to abundant life, for those who seek to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.In this 8-week course, taking us from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday in a series of one hour sessions for group study, David Adam shares with us a method which follows the Church's ancient tradition of prayer and reading Scripture called Lectio Divina, or 'Holy Reading'. Each chapter includes suggested resources, hymns and prayers to help illustrate a theme to be discussed and reflected upon, together with a reading from scripture of one of the parables in the Gospels, carefully chosen because of the simple pictures the create while also exposing up to deep mysteries and challenges. Every time we extend ourselves to reach beyond the obvious and the immediate, we are reaching towards a higher awareness and potential and the abundant life God wants us to live.ContentsIntrodutionWEEK 1: Ash Wednesday Don't Give Up!WEEK 2 Fruit GrowingWEEK 3 Where Do Weeds Come From?WEEK 4 The Dangers of Jerry - BuildersWEEK 5 Use it or Lose itWEEK 6 At HomeWEEK 7 Scorned and RejectedWEEK 8: Easter Day Love Is Come Again
