The Prince of Peace, for Advent and Christmas
by Alban Goodier

Description
A collection of short essays by Archbishop Alban about the events of the life of Christ as described in the Gospels. THIS little book of meditations is but one more of very many. Our minds are all different, our method of prayer is different in every case. On this account it partly is that no prayer-book, still more no single collection of meditations, can hope to satisfy all alike. Nor can it even hope to satisfy any single soul, if that soul expects to find in it what prayer alone can show more give. All it can hope to do is to suggest such matter as may contain substance, such, too, as may help the soul of prayer in its own way to "raise its mind and heart to God.". show lessTags
