This one is becoming an annual favorite! Just this week, a friend texted asking for the name of this book – the one I gifted to about a dozen of my girlfriends the year it was released. Each year, Scott Erickson helps bring the season a little closer to home with the ideas heard in this conversation and from his book, Honest Advent: Awakening to the Wonder of God-with-Us Then, Here, and Now. Scott is an artist, which encompasses a whole host of creative spheres in his work, and in these 25 readings he brings our heads and our hearts down to the reality of Jesus’ first coming. He opens up a window into the messiness of birth, the societal stigma, and what God’s humanness means for our own.
