Book Synopsis
Thom Shuman's first book was 2005's Jesse Tree and since then he has been a much-loved Wild Goose writer. Thom's voice is like no one else's. There's a vulnerability, gentleness and childlike wonder in his writing that folk deeply connect with, and that well fits the Advent and Christmas season. In This Season of Waiting contains scripture readings, Thom's poetic reflections, and candle-lighting prayers for Advent, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Thom lives in Columbus, Ohio with his family, and is a retired' pastor and an associate member of the Iona Community. His previous books include How Shall We Pray This Morning? For What Shall We Pray This Night?, Grace Will Walk Us Home, Christmas Eve in the Diner, The Soft Petals of Grace, and Gobsmacked. We light the candles of visionin this season of waiting,that we might see youin the refugees who have travelledso far to reach a new homethat we might notice youin the folk sleeping in carsbecause there is no roomfor them in our prosperitythat we might recognise youin the person who treats uswith patience and kindness this day,God in community, Holy and One.
