Meaning Is in the Waiting: The Spirit of Advent - Paula Gooder

Descriere & specificații

This thoughtful book is arranged for daily reading in the hectic run-up to Christmas. Using examples of biblical characters with whom the candles on the Advent wreath are traditionally associated, the author explains very different kinds of waiting. nIs it worth the wait? n Paula Gooder shows how the spiritual practice of waiting is vital to our well-being. With warmth and insight, she helps us re-learn the skill of waiting, and invites us to engage with the real, flesh-and-blood people that are the subject of our Scripture readings and lessons each Advent: Abraham and Sarah, the Hebrew prophets, John the Baptist, and Mary. Each of them exemplified how to wait upon God for wisdom, joy, and the meaning of life. n n In this winsome yet provocative Advent devotional, I began to sense something I had not understood before, in any of my other Advent observances -- it is not just we who wait. God is waiting too. 'The Lord waits, that he may be gracious unto you, ' says Isaiah, one of the prophets who interests Paula Gooder most. God waits on us, for our attention, for our visits home; God waits for our vision, and our ear. -Lauren Winner, from the foreword n The Meaning Is in the Waiting is arranged for daily reading in the hectic run-up to Christmas. This thoughtful book will enable you to grow more fully into a way of being that is expectant rather than urgent, more focused on God's presence right now than on some imagined future. nn nAdvent is about learning to love the waiting.
