Love's Pure Light

Light is an integral symbol in the Christian faith, especially during Christmas. The light of a single candle can disperse the deepest darkness, bringing warmth, comfort, and illumination. The soft, warm candlelight at a Christmas Eve service creates an atmosphere of worship and reverence as congregations celebrate the arrival of the Light of the world. Love's Pure Light is a collection of insightful Christmas sermons delivered at Susquehanna University between 1997 and 2006. This bookoffers pastors a valuable source of inspiration for Christmas sermon preparation. Love's Pure Light also includes an order of service, providing congregations with a complete Christmas candlelight worship experience. Love's Pure Light will be a welcome addition to congregations of any size, aiding them in perceiving the power of the Light of Christmas in a deeper and more dynamic way. Mark Wm.
