Description
The world is slowly emerging from the worst global emergency in a century, and the myriad struggles of the contemporary moment—division, isolation, illness, and uncertainty—make living our faith a challenge. For Christians, a number of questions have gained new urgency: Where do we find hope when it seems in such short supply? Where are the signs of God's peace in this divided world? Where do we find a deeper sense of joy?
Thomas G. Long and Donyelle C. McCray remind us that these are the questions of Advent in their new daily devotional, A Surprising God. Mindful of the stresses of life today in a world torn apart by conflict, marked by political division, and in the midst of a global health crisis, these devotions for Advent and Christmas invite readers to honest reflection on the challenges of being people of faith in this moment. Long and McCray explore what it means to wait for our salvation, to be open to the surprising thing that God is about to do, and to find hope in God's choice of the small and the insignificant.
Advance Praise
“Do not cross the threshold of December without this book in your hand. These two trustworthy guides escort readers on the sacred journey of Advent. The devotionals in this slender volume are honest. They are faithful. They are inspiring. Again and again, I dabbed tears from my eyes as Long and McCray brought this messed-up world into conversation with God’s story of immeasurable hope. This book is a gift.”
