Summary

‘As we contemplate the coming months, not knowing when we can breathe again, it’s worth thinking about how already the foundations have been laid for whatever new opportunities God has for us on the far side of this crisis。’

Rowan Williams offers these words of wisdom and many more in Candles in the Dark。 This powerful and timely book brings together the 26 weekly Christian meditations originally posted online from March to September 2020, during lockdown in the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, for the congregation of his local parish church。

Candles in the Dark is a lovely Christian book of comfort for anyone looking for the light in these dark times。 Written with warmth and compassion, these meditations offer us hope and encouragement as we continue to endure the most devastating and disturbing world crisis for over a generation。 They will leave you spiritually uplifted and with a strengthened faith to guide you through whatever may come。

This is a wonderful book of short but deep reflections。 Born out of the pandemic the themes are ones which will resonate and provoke in many different times and situations。 It has been the perfect Lent devotional read but is a book I can see myself dipping into many times in the future。

Hilary Campbell

This is a book of short, deep reflections for these different times, inviting again connection with what is around, and with the changes that need to (and hopefully will) come into being。

Carole Anne

As always, an uplifting book for our hard times。 Such human warmth。 Whenever I hear Rowan Williams speak it is a deeply valued experience。 We need moments of peace now, more than ever, and his meditations offer comfort, wisdom, a refuge。 I shall be returning to this book repeatedly。
