‘From Heaven you Came…’ Readings, reflections and prayers for Advent. By Tony Horsfall & John Ayrton 

People talk about ‘the Christmas rush’ and they’re not wrong. But what if we were able to take time to go through the whole Bible story of Christmas slowly, thinking about a little episode each day? 

We could get to know the characters, see how the events touched them and maybe get to know what Christmas is all about right from the source, the beginning. 

Here, for each day through December there’s a reading from the Bible – we’ll cover the whole Christmas story – with a comment to prompt your reflection along with a prayer of response. 

Enjoy and be blessed.
