Beginnings and Endings

(and what happens in between) – Daily Bible Readings from Advent to Epiphany

by Maggi Dawn

These readings and reflections are dated but not specifically for this year, they run from 1st December – 6th January. Maggie Dawn has used as her theme the small-scale beginnings and endings in our everyday lives. Looking at the much larger issues told in the Bible Advent story, she has reflected on the stories of six groups of people and individual characters from the Bible to help us as we try to follow the teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ in our own time. The wonder of this approach is that year on year the reflections still point us along the way. If like me you read quickly, you will be tempted to read more than is set for the day, but if you do this you will loose much of the purpose of the exercise. Maggi Dawn has written well, her reflections are thought provoking and worth while, but the reader needs to contribute time and reflection too, don’t rush at this book as a duty, enjoy and savour what the author has given us.
