Reviews

Reviewed in : The Methodist Recorder - 29 November 2007

The Promise of Christmas is produced in conjunction with the Mothers' Union and written by the organization's head of Faith and Policy, Fleur Dorrell. Truly a book of the 21st century, each (undated) week's section begins with a suggested website image to visit: for the fourth week, for example, entitled 'The Lord is Here', is it Holman Hunt's 'The Light of the World' at St Paul's Cathedral and Keble College, Oxford. A useful book in both size and content.
