 The Meaning is in the Waiting: The Spirit of Advent
Paula Gooder
Retail Price: $14.99
CBD Price: $11.99
Buy 60 or more for $11.39 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
In her debut book, Paula Gooder notes that in our observance of Advent, the spiritual practice of waiting is a vital component to our well-being and our Christian growth. Waiting is the primary lesson of Advent, notes Gooder, and Advent is about learning to love the waiting. Arranged for daily reading during the feverish run-up to Christmas, Gooder helps us to discover different kinds of waiting by using the biblical characters traditionally represented by each of the candles on the Advent wreath. Abraham & Sarah waited a lifetime for the fulfillment of God's promises, the Hebrew prophets waited for God's intervention, John the Baptist waited for the beginning of a new era of God's ministry and Mary waited with patience for God to bring forth events well beyond her control. With a forward by Lauren Winner, this thoughtful book will enable you to participate in a way of being that is expectant rather than urgent, keeping you focused on God in the present, rather than on some uncertain future.
