'Wrigley-Carr illustrates how Underhill wonderfully unites reflection and prayer' DANA GREENE

Beloved spiritual writer Evelyn Underhill believed that God does not just come to us at special times, but is always coming to us. But how do we recognise his coming and make ourselves open to it?

In Music of Eternity, the Archbishop of York's Advent Book 2021, Robyn Wrigley-Carr shares a series of meditations exploring the nature God's comings. Skilfully weaving together Underhill's writings with the psalms and short prayers, she shows how, as Christians, we can embrace God's coming and be transformed by them in order to better love others.

Full of rich warmth and encouragement, these Christian meditations will help you make the most of the Advent season and more able to connect with God at all times.

Set out in four parts to take you through Advent and with questions for reflection, the Archbishop of York's Advent book can be used as a study for individuals or small groups to prepare for Christmas.

Music of Eternity will help you find space to deepen your relationship with God, and to understand what Evelyn Underhill called the 'many-sided truth of God's perpetual coming to His creatures'.

Draws on Evelyn Underhill's wonderfully poetic, challenging and inspiring retreat addresses, skilfully weaving selected passages with excerpts from the Psalms, short prayers and questions for individual or group use Evelyn Underhill is a one of the most celebrated twentieth century writers in Christian spirituality, and loved by influential figures such as Richard Rohr Robyn Wrigley-Carr, whose recent book, The Formation of Evelyn Underhill, was described by Eugene Peterson as 'brilliantly written', and prompted Dana Greene to exclaim 'It made my heart sing!', accompanies us sympathetically throughout Though she formally identified herself within the Anglican tradition, Evelyn was truly ecumenical, and this book will appeal to many different branches of the Christian Church

Industry Reviews

The most extensive and inviting introduction . . . a brilliantly written book. -- Eugene Peterson on The Spiritual Formation of Evelyn Underhill
It made my heart sing. -- Dana Greene, President of the Evelyn Underhill Association on on The Spiritual Formation of Evelyn Underhill
The core and centre of the book . . . is worth many reads, and Robyn has done a superb job in bringing to the fore Underhill's "Book of Private Prayers". * Clarion Journal of Spirituality and Justice on Evelyn Underhill's Prayer Book *
Special because it is designed for, and the fruit of, retreat leadership - in other words, for those who are going deeply into their faith within a context of private as well as public prayer. -- Cally Hammond * Church Times on Evelyn Underhill's Prayer Book *
Evelyn's prayers are now presented in one coherent whole, including helpful author biographies and liturgical sources . . . to Robyn Wrigley-Carr, many thanks! -- Ann Loads * Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal on Evelyn Underhill's Prayer Book *
