UPPERMILL METHODIST CHURCH
The Church in the Square at the Heart of the Community
“Haphazard By Starlight” by Janet Morley
recommended by Dorothy Roberts
If you enjoy poetry and are looking for a new angle on Advent to Christmas, this book might be for you. I was introduced to it several years ago and have used it with pleasure every Advent since.
There is a poem for each day from Advent to Epiphany, covering many themes associated with the season, but not necessarily by a Christian poet. Some will be familiar; others not. Some are easier to understand; others more difficult, but the commentary carefully unpicks and explains the meaning linking it to experience. Each day ends with a personal thought or question to consider.
Go on! Why not give it a go? You may find you really enjoy it.
The book is available from the Huddersfield Christian Bookshop or online.
