Overview

Light to the Darkness is a fresh interpretation of the well-loved Advent tradition of Lessons and Carols. Replacing the usual scriptural readings from the Old and New Testaments are first-person monologues based on these and other passages of scripture. Special emphasis is given to the role of the prophets, pointing the way to the messiah and offering guidance to the Hebrew people, while providing very contemporary guidance for the twenty-first century.

With a reading for each day of Advent, churches can choose pieces for their services of lessons and carols, while individuals can use the book for private devotions. Suggested music for these services is also included, encompassing a broad range of selections to accommodate parishes’ needs and abilities.
