This is clearly a follow up to the success of The Art of Lent, and therefore one naturally begins with a compare and contrast. Where Sister Wendy’s reflections were a single page Jane Williams gives three, and all the images this time are of explicitly Christian subjects. But these differences are not a detriment – there might be more words but the reflections are sharp and focused and the range of artistic styles is still broad. The success is that you are caused to stop and ponder on the image, layers of meaning are opened up, in the rush of Advent a point of stillness is available.
