Overview
From Sarah Bessey, New York Times bestselling author of A Rhythm of Prayer, on Micha Boyett's previous book: "I absolutely love this book." Now Boyett brings that same tender, unflinching honesty to Advent Unhurried, a collection of twenty-eight daily reflections offering rest, hope, and a slower path to Christmas.
It's no secret that the holiday season arrives overscheduled and oversentimental, pressuring us toward a manufactured cheer long before we're ready for it. Advent has always resisted that pace--a season built for waiting, not rushing, for sitting with longing before we arrive at joy. Honoring that older, slower tradition in daily form, this devotional
● integrates poems, prayers, practices, and prose;
● goes beyond the easy sentimentality of the holiday season; and
● features a beautiful design and custom illustrations throughout.
If you feel caught between sorrow and joy, doubt and faith, this book gives you permission: carrying more questions than certainty is still a faithful way to wait. With warmth and honesty, Boyett explores the witness of Mary, who models what it means to say yes to love even when faith is hard to come by.
Encompassing the full four weeks of Advent--hope, peace, joy, and love--these tender, unhurried reflections invite individuals, small groups, and gift-givers alike into a more contemplative path toward Christmas.
