A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this engaging series of Advent meditations, David Rhodes uses stories and experiences from the streets of the inner city to help us rediscover the startling message of the gospel. Sometimes humorous, often moving, the book makes adventurous reading. If we run the risk of loving, we soon learn the meaning of vulnerability. Mary knew from the beginning that life with the Christ-child was not going to be easy. Perhaps we should expect it to be no less challenging to live as Christ's disciples today. Lisa Friend, who worked as a prostitute before coming to faith, writes: 'How can you believe you are worth anything if you have been told all your life that you are less than nothing? David Rhodes writes about us, the outcasts. He communicates the radical challenge of God's love to the Church and to Christians everywhere.' 'If you buy only one book this Christmas, then this is the one to go for.' Reform magazine. ' . . . urges us to look beyond the brightly lit shops and glitter of lights to see the true angels of Christmas, many of whom wear 'ragged trousers'.' The War Cry. "'This book may disturb, it may infuriate, but it may lead to a new realisation of Christmas and if that sounds trite, believe me it is not.'" Digest

Biographie de l'auteur

DAVID RHODES worked as a national newspaper journalist before his ordination as an Anglican priest. In 1994 he joined the ecumenical project Faith in Leeds and began running his innovative 'retreats on the streets' to help Christians make the vital connection between their faith and social justice issues. This led to him presenting the B.B.C. T.V. Good Friday programme, Passion in the City. Having subsequently been appointed Chaplain Missioner of The Children's Society, he is now a freelance writer and conference speaker, and the author of Faith in Dark Places and Lenten Adventure.'
