News: A Stranger in Bethlehem (and other Christmas poems)

Added Monday 12th November 2012

A Stranger in Bethlehem - buy now! Are you struggling to find the perfect little gift for friends and family this Christmas? Kevin Carey's new book A Stranger in Bethlehem is the ideal stocking-filler, containing over 50 poems that guide us through from Advent to Christmas and Epiphany. Scattered throughout the text are illustrations by Kevin Sheehan.

Christmas Carols are one of the most familiar aspects of Christianity, instantly recognisable to church-goers and others alike. Over the years many fine new musical settings have emerged, but the words remain the same. Kevin Carey has been inspired to create new and vibrant lyric poetry in an anthology that will delight those eager to renew their Christmas Spirit.

Restored in Grace, revived in Word,
The water fills our soul,
And so we wait upon the Lord,
Whose birth will make us whole.

A Stranger in Bethlehem is available as a paperback or e-book (including Kindle, iTunes and Kobo) from Sacristy Press.
