Advent begins in just two weeks on Sunday, November 30. I always find it helpful to consider how I will make space for the season beforehand. There are so many meaningful and rich Advent resources out there that it helps to narrow down which ones will be most helpful beforehand. Instead of posting my own list of online Advent resources, I will point you to Christine Sine’s blog, Godspace. She has already posted her annual list...HERE. Or you can check out my resource guide from last year...HERE.
Christine Sine's annual Advent series is always worth keeping up with. This year it is titled, “Who Will You Invite to the Manger?”.
Instead of posting online resoures, I will share several Advent books that I have enjoyed over the past several years. Most of them are available in Kindle format. You can click on the book title to learn more about the book.
