The Promise of his Glory is one of the most exciting documents to emerge from the Church of England. A companion to Lent, Holy Week, Easter published in 1986, it is the work of the Church's Liturgical Commission and provides services and resources for the period from All Saints' Day to Candlemas. This is a commentary on this new resource book. Academic and pastoral concerns have been brought together in a book which contains useful insights on The Promise of his Glory for all who use it with congregations.
