A Growing Light: Advent Meditations

In all the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations one often overlooks the meditation oasis known as the Advent season. Advent is the four week pre-Christmas season of the Church year that focuses on the coming fulfillment of Messianic prophecy as well as our own anticipated return of our Lord for the Judgment. "Advent" means "to come" and is appropriate as the focus is on both the Old Testament believers looking for the coming Messiah and New Testament believers looking for the return of the Christ. This book contains sermons and meditations for this season as well as an explanation of the Advent wreath and the candles within that wreath.
