About this item

Open a window each day of Advent onto the natural world. Here are twenty-five fresh images of the foundational truth that lies beneath and within the Christ story. In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes. Short, daily reflections that paint vivid, poetic images of familiar animals, paired with charming original wood-cuts, will engage both children and adults. Anyone who does not want to be caught, again, in the consumer hype of "the holiday season" but rather to be taken up into the eternal truth the natural world reveals will welcome this book.



About the Author

Gayle Boss

Thank you for coming by. I write from Michigan's west coast, where I was born and raised and where I returned with my husband to raise our two sons. This landscape and its weathers, its four distinct seasons, its animals and plants and its Great Lakes people, too, steep my nonfiction.I also write for organizations and non-profits that hire me to write stories about how we live and give to others--not only in West Michigan, but around this blue-green globe. Writing about both the natural world and our human community, I've found One Life, One Great Love holding us all.
