Fullness of Time: Devotionals, Poems, Pictures, and Prayers by Ray Harris (Author)


Paperback– Released: Sept. 15 2023


"Fullness of Time is a gentle companion through the seasons of the year and the seasons of life. The meditations are drawn from all 66 books of the Bible. They are based on devotionals the author shared with various gatherings at Tabor Village, a residence for older adults in Abbotsford BC during the years of his chaplaincy 2017-2021. They provide a good resource for chaplains, teachers, and others who may need to lead a devotion on short notice. The photographs and artwork are provided by tenants, friends, and family. As a coffee-table book, it can be a source of aesthetic interest and inspiration. Journey through time, through the seasons of nature, life, and the church year. Enjoy the pictures, aphorisms (brief thoughts), poems, and anecdotes (brief stories)."
