Practicing Radical Advent

Christian Living

“In this thoughtful book, Laurie Brink proposes a spiritual practice centered on moving through the inevitable changes that arise for each and every person. Drawing on biblical stories as well as compelling contemporary examples of experience and wisdom, Brink leads the reader across eight stepping-stones that mark the transition from one way of life to another, one reality to a new one, whether this be a shift in work or family, a physical challenge, or the sense of a calling to something new and different. By meditating on the lives of Abraham and Naomi, Peter and Mary of Magdala, we may navigate these changes—no matter how long it takes—with a measure of courage, a holy hope, and an awareness of God’s abiding presence. Brink’s offering is well suited for both individual and small group study. There are gems of wisdom on every page!”
