Review:

We people who wait in darkness yearn for light. In a time of great hostility. Advent is a rumor that
reconciliation is possible. In a world filled with great violence, Advent is a pilgrimage toward God's promise of peace. Child of the Light is a guidebook for that journey. I cannot imagine a better companion
with whom to walk than Beth Richardson. Beth walks and writes as a child of the light, and we fellow pilgrims are fortunate to be invited along. --Michael E. Williams, United Methodist pastor and General Editor, The Storyteller's Companion to the Bible series
