Mystery and wonder are threads that weave through the seasons of Advent and Christmas. During these days we are reminded that we live in "now and not-yet" time. The Season of Hope: A Companion Through the Days of Advent and Christmas is a devotional resource that offers daily readings and reflections to companion us through this now and not-yet time. The Advent readings invite us to live with expectancy and hope, as we prepare to greet the one who comes to us again and again. The wonder and awe of the Christmas story affirms afresh God's presence in uncertain times. The readings through the twelve days of Christmas help us recognise the ways in which we gather strength from being grounded in God's wisdom. The forty personal meditations contained in this book provide a wise and insightful guide through the days of Advent and Christmas, encouraging an opening of self to a deeper intimacy with God, and fresh insight into God's promises and faithfulness.
