Staying in tune for Advent

Judith Dennis reviews With Heart and Soul and Voice by Tim Chester.

This collection of meditations on the Christmas story contributes further to the trend of books introducing those in the non-conformist tradition to the Anglican church calendar.

The author bases his thoughts on the Divine Office which furnishes prayers for three occasions each day: the songs of Mary, Zechariah and Simeon are used, to which he adds the Angels’ song, all from the opening chapters of Luke’s Gospel.
