This beautifully illustrated, full-colour daily Advent companion explores the ancient biblical names and images for the coming Messiah familiar to most people from the hymn, ‘O come, O come Emmanuel’. Well-known writers offer a total of twenty-four reflections, one for each weekday of the four weeks of Advent. The writers each offer three reflections on one of the seven antiphons: O Wisdom, O Adonai, O Root of Jesse, O Key of David, O Morning Star, O King of the Nations, O Emmanuel. Lastly, there are three reflections on the Magnificat – Mary’s Song – which the antiphons have been heard alongside since at least the eighth century. Each day includes the text of the antiphon from Common Worship, a Scripture reading exploring its biblical roots, paintings of the antiphon as a focus for meditation, a reflection, a challenge to ponder and an Advent prayer. The volume also includes an introduction explaining the rich history of the antiphons, recommendations for further resources including musical settings as well as suggestions for how to use the antiphons in local worship and study groups.

Christian life and ministry is often difficult, discouraging, and lonely. Christians find faith hard to hold onto when facing challenging circumstances. Congregations struggle to persevere when uncertain times hit. Leaders find themselves navigating complicated and painful situations with little support. Drawing on twelve key practices arising from John's Gospel - "the 12 Cs" - Esther Prior offers a framework for Christian life in challenging times that is biblically rooted and pastorally tested. Each chapter explores one of the "Cs" by examining different episodes in Jesus's life as narrated in the Gospel of John and reflecting on the theological and pastoral implications of the Good Shepherd's example. Filled with personal anecdotes, practical application, and reflection questions, this is a resource that Christians can return to as they navigate times of pressure, uncertainty, and change with resilience and hope.
