Light Amidst the Darkness by John Cox is a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching exploration of the Advent season. Through a series of powerful contrasts—death and hope, judgment and peace, heaven and joy, hell and love—Cox invites readers to reflect deeply on the light that shines through life’s darker moments.
Each chapter offers meditations that guide the reader toward a profound understanding of the Christian faith, culminating in the celebration of Christmas Day and the arrival of Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of light and love.
Perfect for personal reflection or group study, Light Amidst the Darkness is a heartfelt journey of hope, renewal, and faith during the sacred season of Advent.
Since ordination, nearly 40 years ago, John has been a parish priest; Senior Selection Secretary at Church House, Westminster; Director of Ordinands, and Canon at Southwark Cathedral;
