Hardcover All Creations Waits
The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings
By Gayle Boss
Hardcover
192 pages
A special gift edition of the bestselling book for Advent that reveals the wisdom and wonder of animals in the natural world
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.
Daily reflections capture in vivid detail the intricate and astonishing ways familiar animals, from the honeybee to the porcupine, prepare for winter. Each day’s reading is paired with a charming original woodcut illustration. Anyone tired of the consumer hype of “the holiday season” will be refreshed and awakened to the eternal truth the natural world reveals.
