Description
What a beautiful, genuine, moving book. Reminds us of what's important in life. Dip into this, and get strength for the day. For when you can feel the darkness, use this book as light.
Jeremy Vine Journalist and Author
A time for reflection
Christmas should be a time of peace, togetherness and celebration; yet it can leave all too many of us feeling overwhelmed by loneliness, stress and worry.
In This Light is a timely collection of thoughtful meditations. The Most Revd Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, leads contributions from celebrities, business leaders, athletes, politicians and others, whose names you might not know but whose stories you will come to love.
Alan Titchmarsh, Sally Philips, Bear Grylls, Afua Hirsch, Bishop Michael Curry, Secretary John Kerry, Dany Cotton, Elif Shafak, Jo Malone and Sally Lloyd-Jones--among others--offer their thoughts and insights as we reflect on this time of year.
In a world that often seems in turmoil, these personal essays invite us to remember and rejoice in the true, timeless spirit of Christmas.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will donate all royalties received from this book, in equal parts, to support these wonderful organisations:
Caring for Ex-Offenders, part of the ministry of Holy Trinity Brompton

'What a beautiful, genuine, moving book. Reminds us of what's important in life. Dip into this, and get strength for the day. For when you can feel the darkness, use this book as light. I was very moved, reading these thoughts: such personal, intimate stories, but with truth for every single reader.'
Jeremy Vine Journalist and Author
'Christmas has a way of bringing people together and this book is another example of that. While reading it, I felt like I was sitting in front of a tinsel lined fireplace surrounded by the various writers, who took it in turns to inspire me with the powerful and moving words which line the pages. A must read for all.'

‘This little book is more full of sparkling baubles of seasonal wisdom and cheer than a Christmas tree, from Jo Malone to Alan Titchmarsh and many more. It really is a gift.’
Rachel Johnson Journalist and Author
'A glittering mosaic of thought-provoking experiences and reflections, by turns comforting, heart-warming and inspiring, that remind us of the challenges of the world and the grace and love of God at Christmas time.’
J.John International Evangelist and author
