"Christians believe not just in one coming of Christ, but in
three." We tend to think of Advent as the season of anticipation
before Christmas—and while it is that, it’s also much more.
Throughout its history, the church has observed Advent as a
preparation not only for the first coming of Christ in his
incarnation but also for his second coming at the last day. It's
also about a third coming: the coming of Christ to meet us in our
present moment, to make us holy by his Word and Sacrament. In this
short volume, priest and writer Tish Harrison Warren explores all
three of these "comings" of Christ and invites us into a deeper
experience of the first season of the Christian year. Each volume
in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the
riches of the church year, exploring how its traditions, prayers,
Scriptures, and rituals all point us to Jesus.
ECPA Christian Book of the Year Christianity Today Book of the Year
Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist IVP Readers' Choice
Award How can we trust God in the dark? Framed around a nighttime
prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of Liturgy of the
Ordinary, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and
God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss,
the prayer was grounding for her. She writes that practices of
prayer "gave words to my anxiety and grief and allowed me to
reencounter the doctrines of the church not as tidy little
antidotes for pain, but as a light in darkness, as good news."
Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in
the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the
difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world
filled with uncertainty.
From the moment we awake in the morning until we go back to bed,
every day is filled with ordinary moments that allow us to connect
with God. Little Prayers for Ordinary Days is a collection of short
prayers for children to pray in the midst of their day: on the way
to school, after seeing a friend, when noticing a bird in the tree,
or looking at the stars, or during any of their comings and goings.
This collection of simple prayers, accompanied by winsome and
playful art, will bring delight to readers of all ages. Intended as
a faith formation tool for Christian families to use together, this
book is perfect for parents who want to incorporate liturgy and
prayer into their family discipleship and home life. Share these
prayers with the children you love and help them to begin to
recognize the nearness of God.
Christianity Today Book of the Year In the overlooked moments and
routines of our day, we can become aware of God's presence in
surprising ways. How do we embrace the sacred in the ordinary and
the ordinary in the sacred? Framed around one typical day, this
book explores life through the lens of liturgy-small practices and
habits that form us. In each chapter, Tish Harrison Warren
considers a common daily experience-making the bed, brushing her
teeth, losing her keys. Drawing from the diversity of her life as a
campus minister, Anglican priest, friend, wife, and mother, Warren
opens up a practical theology of the everyday. Each activity is
related to a spiritual practice as well as an aspect of our Sunday
worship. Come and discover the holiness of your every day.
