Transfiguration Devotional Series

Pope Callixtus III has a lot to answer for. Most of us won’t have ever heard of him before but he was the person responsible for linking the Feast of the Transfiguration to a date in the year when many of us are on holiday.

Most of us will skip straight past 6th August without a second thought. Yet tucked into the middle of the summer holidays sits one of the most breathtaking moments in all of Scripture — the Transfiguration of Christ. But unlike Christmas or Easter, it has no natural anchor in our devotional rhythms.

Partly through historical accident, partly through the busyness of the season, and partly because we are simply on holiday, this extraordinary incident has drifted quietly to the margins of our Christian thinking. But what if we turned that around?

What if the summer holidays became the perfect opportunity to slow down, linger, and look more deeply at Jesus? These fourteen devotions invite you to do exactly that — and to return home knowing Christ better.
