There are many Lent books published each year but only one chosen by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. In I Am With You, Episcopal priest and theologian Kathryn Greene-McCreight examines the biblical portrayal of God's presence among us as light in darkness. Close readings of Scripture are woven into a framework patterned on the seven monastic hours of prayer and the seven days of creation. God's interaction with us in light comes as address, drawing us into relationship with the Creator. The resurrection of Easter morning bears the Light that both illumines our darkness, refines our dross in its flames, and draws us into the presence of God, that ‘Light by which we see light’. With an introduction by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, I Am With You is a reflective and thought-provoking guide to the solemn season of Lent.

Elegant narrative ... her nuanced and holistic perspective on Scripture recommends this book highly, as does her embrace of darkness as a place of encounter with God. * The Tablet *
