By Guli Francis-Dehqani

In Listening to the Music of the Soul, Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani invites us to pause and listen for God’s presence within the complexities of our own stories.

Drawing from her personal journey of exile, loss, and faith, she weaves the themes of Advent with profound honesty and hope. Each reflection becomes a melody of courage and beauty, inviting us to find meaning, resilience, and divine harmony in the music of our souls.

In Who Am I?, Bishop Nick Baines invites us to explore some of life’s most searching questions: who we are, what gives us meaning, and how God truly sees us.

Designed for Advent, this four-session York Course offers space for honest reflection and conversation, drawing us closer to the heart of faith. Whether used in a group or for personal study, it’s a thoughtful companion for anyone seeking renewed identity and purpose in Christ this Christmas.

In The Little Christmas Tree, Andrea Skevington tells a tender tale about love, kindness, and the true meaning of Christmas.
