Mark and Mary Fleeson have lived on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne since 1997, where they run the Lindisfarne Scriptorium and Mary regularly leads retreats and workshop days. Prior to that they led a Christian theatre group which worked around the UK and they regularly led day workshops combining Christian theatre with a deeper experience of meeting God. From the introduction... Welcome to this little book, it has been designed to be used throughout Advent to help you prepare for celebrating Christmas. In a world where everyone is so busy we hope that the readings and activities within will help you find a quiet place where you can contemplate the festival of Christ's birth. We recommend that you spread the sections over the course of Advent as they divide into five sections, four for the weeks of Advent and the last for Christmas itself.
