Synopsis

A volume of Advent and Christmas meditations based on the seasonal hymns of Charles Wesley.  Each daily meditation, keyed to the scripture reading for the day and to portions of Wesley's texts, concludes with a brief prayer based on the day's theme.  Reflective material on the hymns place Wesley in the rich soil of his Anglican heritage.  Daily readings, including all of these materials, are between 500-600 words in length.
