you came a tiny vulnerable baby lungs screaming for life, fingers
grasping for something to hold on to, your whole being completely
depending on us (!) to feed you change you clothe you protect you
love you and we were gobsmacked. For several years now, pastor/poet
Thom Shuman has written daily devotions for Advent, sending them
out through his popular blogs and books. In this collection of
readings for the four weeks of Advent, Thom introduces us to, among
others, 'Dusty the Church Dog', Mr Pete the 'Drum man', and to his
son, Teddy, and wife, Bonnie. In this collection Mary, the mother
of Jesus, goes for a contemplative skate on a frozen pond where
'praises piggyback until her soul topples over', and John the
Baptist tries to explain his purpose to a very perplexed Senator
and chairman of the board. These are personal and universal,
imaginative and biblically rooted reflections. 'Reading one of
Thom's books is like walking and talking with a friend. Someone who
understands the fragility and failings of being human (and himself)
but who continues to laugh, and to hope and work for the coming of
the Light. I can't think of a better companion to journey through
Advent with.' - Neil Paynter
