Connect with what truly matters this holiday season
In the hustle and bustle of the season's endless to-dos, it can be difficult to truly connect with what matters--honoring beloved traditions with family and friends, being present in our communities, and experiencing God in the celebration of Jesus' birth. In Comfort and Joy, authors Sherah-Leigh Gerber and Gwen Lantz offer a unique blend of thoughtful reflections and inspiring spiritual practices grounded in noticing the sacred amid the ordinary. Two friends who forged a friendship and a blog through a shared love of writing, together they bring fresh insight, warmth, and opportunities for spiritual nurture and growth. In these pages, you'll find ways to engage more deeply with favorite traditions and cultivate creative space for new ones. With readings to walk through the Advent and Christmas season, the weekly offerings include a variety of devotional meditations and invitations. Scripture texts drawn from A Women's Lectionary for the Whole Church by Wilda C. Gafney accompany reflections, journal prompts, and spiritual practices to help us slow down and savor this meaningful and holy Advent journey.Author Biography
