Augsburg Fortress

Advent for many of us is a hectic time of trying to get things done—decking the halls, sending Christmas cards or e-cards, shopping for gifts, wrapping gifts, baking, cooking, attending special events, traveling to spend time with family and friends, and on and on—in four short weeks.

This book explores God's ongoing work of renewing all things, particularly our stories, our days, our spirits, and our ways. Use the daily reflections on your own or with a friend or family member. Discuss the Bible study questions in an existing group, or form a group with others who are reading this book. Check out the activities and choose some hands-on ways to celebrate the gift of God's work of renewal in us, through us, and in the world.
