An Anglican chaplain at Cambridge University's Robinson College, the author writes engagingly of 'times of beginning that are born out of the ending of something else', using her own experiences alongside readings from Genesis, 1 Kings, Isaiah and the Gospels. Reviewed by Andy Goodliff Maggi Dawn is an Anglican Priest, theologian, university chaplain, singer, author, speaker and blogger. This book is a collection of bible readings and reflections for the season of advent. As Christmas seems to begin earlier and earlier each year, the season of Advent gets squeezed and this book reminds us that there are four weeks before Christmas begins. The style of the book reminds me of Tom Wright's For Everyone series as it communicates and reveals new depths to these well-known stories. The book is divided into six sections. Section one is all about beginnings and especially how the gospel writers begin their story. Section two and three take us back into Old Testament and Abraham, Elijah and Isaiah. Section four looks at angel-incidents in the Bible and explores how God speaks to us. Section five draws us into the story of Mary and Joseph and section six is headed endings and we engage with shepherds and kings. Some of my favourite of the reflections - 'Coming, ready or not' and 'No room at the inn?' - first appeared on Maggi's blog over the last few years. In 'Coming, ready or not', we find a baby will come whether everything is in place or not and so Maggi says 'it is with God. He will be born in our world whether we're ready or not, deserving or not, prepared or not. The incarnation of God will defy our plans, upset the organized and come with ease and joy to undeserving sinners and the poor in spirit. (p.105). 'No room at the inn?' explores the Greek word kataluma, which is often translated as 'inn'. Maggi shows us the word is actually more likely to mean 'a large family living room used for eating and receiving guests' (p.115), which puts a different emphasis on how we read the story. Let me encourage you to get a copy of this book to go with your Advent calendar. In and amongst the busyness of those December days, these daily Bible readings will enable you to prepare for the coming of God once again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-05-07T12:28:17+01:00","created_at":"2025-03-28T12:22:30+00:00","vendor":"Maggi Dawn","type":"Paperback","tags":["Advent","Christmas","Devotional","Discipleship","For individuals","For Women","KCLC","New Titles","seasonal","Upcoming titles"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":55065389826428,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800395107","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Beginnings and Endings (and what happens in between)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":999,"weight":197,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800395107","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":64644050551164,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"width":1535,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":2339,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BeginningsandEndings.jpg?v=1746617192","width":1535}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur everyday lives are full of small-scale beginnings and endings-births, death, marriages, careers, house moves and so on.

(The Bible Reading Fellowship) walks readers through every part of the festive season, from decorations and gift-giving to travel and family traditions, while reminding us that caring for the planet is an act of faith as much as it is an act of stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is a rare combination of ecological wisdom and theological depth. The book doesn’t just tell readers how to reduce waste; it calls them to reconnect with the heart of the Christmas story, one that celebrates humility, simplicity and generosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn a chapter on decluttering, Warburton draws a striking parallel between material clutter and spiritual attachment. She quotes Matthew 6:19–21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven […] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eClearing physical space can also clear spiritual space. The author’s reflections transform ordinary acts like tidying or recycling into moments of worship, opportunities to loosen our grip on possessions and refocus our hearts on God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlthough resolute, Warburton’s approach is refreshingly gentle. Rather than guilt-tripping readers for their choices, she writes with compassion, encouraging small but meaningful changes: renting a Christmas tree instead of buying one, making homemade decorations, choosing recycled wrapping paper, and even reconsidering how we travel during the holidays. Her tone is not moralising but mindful, inviting us to think deeply about what we treasure and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn one reflection, she reminds us not to condemn others for indulging in luxuries, stating that: “Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into top-quality wine at a wedding” and that “he commended a woman who anointed him liberally with expensive perfume, an action which others saw as wasteful and mis-directed”. She continues: “In all our careful stewardship of resources, let’s try not to judge others or become legalistic and anxious. Let’s live as lightly on this planet as we can. But where we need to invest resources to bless others, let’s do so freely and joyfully, as the Messiah did.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eReaders are invited to pause, reflect, and even write their thoughts directly onto its pages. Warburton includes questions and journaling prompts alongside a ‘Resources and Links’ section, pointing to sustainable brands, pre-loved marketplaces and organisations working to combat climate injustice. It’s a creative way of making environmental responsibility feel both achievable and communal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhere the book shines most is in its honesty about our resistance to change. Warburton challenges readers to confront familiar excuses such as: “Any lifestyle changes I make won’t make a difference” or: ‘Environmentalism distracts from more important issues.’ These candid admissions hold a mirror to the reader, exposing how easy it is for privilege and apathy to make us neglect our collective duty to protect the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt’s not a call to perfection but to participation, to see stewardship as worship and to rediscover joy in simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEven readers who don’t consider themselves particularly “eco-conscious” will find wisdom here, from the suggestion to use reusable decorations to the call to declutter both home and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWarburton’s vision of a ‘green Christmas’ is, ultimately, one of hope. It’s about returning to the essence of the incarnation, God’s choice to enter creation rather than escape it. In doing so, she gently reminds us that to care for the earth is to care for the creator’s handiwork, and to honour the one whose birth we celebrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Estelle Uba for Premier Christianity online.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-03-28T09:34:54+00:00","created_at":"2025-03-28T09:34:54+00:00","vendor":"Olivia Warburton","type":"Paperback","tags":["Advent","Caring for creation","Christmas","KCLC","New Titles","Upcoming titles"],"price":699,"price_min":699,"price_max":699,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":55064882708860,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800394308","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Dreaming of a Green Christmas: Sustainability and creation care for busy people","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":699,"weight":98,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800394308","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Dreaming_Green_Christmas.jpg?v=1743154421"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Dreaming_Green_Christmas.jpg?v=1743154421","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":64271499854204,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1748,"width":1748,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Dreaming_Green_Christmas.jpg?v=1743154421"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1748,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Dreaming_Green_Christmas.jpg?v=1743154421","width":1748}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWouldn’t it be great if we could make Christmas greener, less wasteful, less stressful, more enjoyable, and with more space to focus on what it’s really all about?

by Estelle Uba\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOlivia Warburton’s Dreaming of a Green Christmas: Sustainability and creation care for busy people (The Bible Reading Fellowship) walks readers through every part of the festive season, from decorations and gift-giving to travel and family traditions, while reminding us that caring for the planet is an act of faith as much as it is an act of stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is a rare combination of ecological wisdom and theological depth. The book doesn’t just tell readers how to reduce waste; it calls them to reconnect with the heart of the Christmas story, one that celebrates humility, simplicity and generosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn a chapter on decluttering, Warburton draws a striking parallel between material clutter and spiritual attachment. She quotes Matthew 6:19–21: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven […] for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eClearing physical space can also clear spiritual space. The author’s reflections transform ordinary acts like tidying or recycling into moments of worship, opportunities to loosen our grip on possessions and refocus our hearts on God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlthough resolute, Warburton’s approach is refreshingly gentle. Rather than guilt-tripping readers for their choices, she writes with compassion, encouraging small but meaningful changes: renting a Christmas tree instead of buying one, making homemade decorations, choosing recycled wrapping paper, and even reconsidering how we travel during the holidays. Her tone is not moralising but mindful, inviting us to think deeply about what we treasure and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn one reflection, she reminds us not to condemn others for indulging in luxuries, stating that: “Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into top-quality wine at a wedding” and that “he commended a woman who anointed him liberally with expensive perfume, an action which others saw as wasteful and mis-directed”. She continues: “In all our careful stewardship of resources, let’s try not to judge others or become legalistic and anxious. Let’s live as lightly on this planet as we can. But where we need to invest resources to bless others, let’s do so freely and joyfully, as the Messiah did.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eReaders are invited to pause, reflect, and even write their thoughts directly onto its pages. Warburton includes questions and journaling prompts alongside a ‘Resources and Links’ section, pointing to sustainable brands, pre-loved marketplaces and organisations working to combat climate injustice. It’s a creative way of making environmental responsibility feel both achievable and communal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhere the book shines most is in its honesty about our resistance to change. Warburton challenges readers to confront familiar excuses such as: “Any lifestyle changes I make won’t make a difference” or: ‘Environmentalism distracts from more important issues.’ These candid admissions hold a mirror to the reader, exposing how easy it is for privilege and apathy to make us neglect our collective duty to protect the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt’s not a call to perfection but to participation, to see stewardship as worship and to rediscover joy in simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEven readers who don’t consider themselves particularly “eco-conscious” will find wisdom here, from the suggestion to use reusable decorations to the call to declutter both home and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWarburton’s vision of a ‘green Christmas’ is, ultimately, one of hope. It’s about returning to the essence of the incarnation, God’s choice to enter creation rather than escape it. In doing so, she gently reminds us that to care for the earth is to care for the creator’s handiwork, and to honour the one whose birth we celebrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Estelle Uba for Premier Christianity online.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Brading, Bunyan and Wood begin by exploring the theological basis for this vision, aiming to inspire the reader with God’s love for the weak and marginalised in society. They then move into a practical section outlining a range of different experiences we are likely to encounter, including Autism, Learning Disabilities and physical disabilities.

An Anglican chaplain at Cambridge University's Robinson College, the author writes engagingly of 'times of beginning that are born out of the ending of something else', using her own experiences alongside readings from Genesis, 1 Kings, Isaiah and the Gospels. Reviewed by Andy Goodliff Maggi Dawn is an Anglican Priest, theologian, university chaplain, singer, author, speaker and blogger. This book is a collection of bible readings and reflections for the season of advent. As Christmas seems to begin earlier and earlier each year, the season of Advent gets squeezed and this book reminds us that there are four weeks before Christmas begins. The style of the book reminds me of Tom Wright's For Everyone series as it communicates and reveals new depths to these well-known stories. The book is divided into six sections. Section one is all about beginnings and especially how the gospel writers begin their story. Section two and three take us back into Old Testament and Abraham, Elijah and Isaiah. Section four looks at angel-incidents in the Bible and explores how God speaks to us. Section five draws us into the story of Mary and Joseph and section six is headed endings and we engage with shepherds and kings. Some of my favourite of the reflections - 'Coming, ready or not' and 'No room at the inn?' - first appeared on Maggi's blog over the last few years. In 'Coming, ready or not', we find a baby will come whether everything is in place or not and so Maggi says 'it is with God. He will be born in our world whether we're ready or not, deserving or not, prepared or not. The incarnation of God will defy our plans, upset the organized and come with ease and joy to undeserving sinners and the poor in spirit. (p.105). 'No room at the inn?' explores the Greek word kataluma, which is often translated as 'inn'.

An Anglican chaplain at Cambridge University's Robinson College, the author writes engagingly of 'times of beginning that are born out of the ending of something else', using her own experiences alongside readings from Genesis, 1 Kings, Isaiah and the Gospels. Reviewed by Andy Goodliff Maggi Dawn is an Anglican Priest, theologian, university chaplain, singer, author, speaker and blogger. This book is a collection of bible readings and reflections for the season of advent. As Christmas seems to begin earlier and earlier each year, the season of Advent gets squeezed and this book reminds us that there are four weeks before Christmas begins. The style of the book reminds me of Tom Wright's For Everyone series as it communicates and reveals new depths to these well-known stories. The book is divided into six sections. Section one is all about beginnings and especially how the gospel writers begin their story. Section two and three take us back into Old Testament and Abraham, Elijah and Isaiah. Section four looks at angel-incidents in the Bible and explores how God speaks to us. Section five draws us into the story of Mary and Joseph and section six is headed endings and we engage with shepherds and kings. Some of my favourite of the reflections - 'Coming, ready or not' and 'No room at the inn?' - first appeared on Maggi's blog over the last few years. In 'Coming, ready or not', we find a baby will come whether everything is in place or not and so Maggi says 'it is with God. He will be born in our world whether we're ready or not, deserving or not, prepared or not. The incarnation of God will defy our plans, upset the organized and come with ease and joy to undeserving sinners and the poor in spirit. (p.105). 'No room at the inn?' explores the Greek word kataluma, which is often translated as 'inn'. Maggi shows us the word is actually more likely to mean 'a large family living room used for eating and receiving guests' (p.115), which puts a different emphasis on how we read the story. Let me encourage you to get a copy of this book to go with your Advent calendar. In and amongst the busyness of those December days, these daily Bible readings will enable you to prepare for the coming of God once again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
