Cardinal Basil Hume has spent 50 years as a Benedictine monk and, to celebrate, this text looks at the man, his achievements and his vocation. Written by some of the Cardinal's closest friends and associates, it offers an insight into the life and work of the highly respected leader of Britain's 5 million Catholics. Contributors include Sister Wendy who shares the Cardinal's devotion to the contemplative life, Sister Lavinia Byrne who is an outspoken liberal and a regular presenter of "Thought for the Day" on Radio 4, and the recently converted controversial MP Anne Widdecombe. Priests include the progressive Cardinal Carlo Martini of Milan who is tipped to be the next Pope, Cardinal Cachal Daly of Armagh and Father Timothy Radcliffe who is Master of the Dominicans and a likely successor to Cardinal Hume. Contributions are also be made by Lord Longford, Clifford Longley and several other experts on Basil Hume.

During the rush of the Christmas season most of us—despite our best intentions—end up losing focus on the real meaning of this special time. Under African Skies provides daily readings, reflections and prayers for the four weeks before Christmas (traditionally called the Season of Advent) and the Twelve Days of Christmas (Christmas Day to the 6th of January).These easy to use reflections will help readers to keep their eyes upon Jesus during this busy holiday time.A unique feature of Under African Skies is that it is written from the perspective of the southern hemisphere, where Christmas is a season of sunshine and warmth, not cold and darkness as in the north. Carolyn Butler manages to create images and symbols for Advent and Christmas that resonate with our own African experience.
