Everybody wants a christening, wedding or funeral service to be unique to them and one of the main ways of personalising a ceremony is to choose one's own readings. Not everyone reads poetry or novels together and many do not know where to start in choosing a special piece. Here, an experienced editor of such books has collected together 100 readings from scripture and literature across the centuries in celebration of a birth, a marriage, a life that has ended. There is humour, tenderness, challenge, wisdom and realism in abundance, offering, quite literally, something for everyone.
ROBERT ATWELL compiled and edited the two major collections of spiritual readings for the Christian year - Celebrating the Saints and Celebrating the Seasons. He previously taught patristics and was chaplain at Trinity College, Cambridge, and is presently Vicar of St Mary's, Primrose Hill in London.
