Advent

The Season of Hope (Fullness of Time)

By: Tish Harrison Warren

Narrated by: Tish Harrison Warren

"Christians believe not just in one coming of Christ, but in three."

We tend to think of Advent as the season of anticipation before Christmas—and while it is that, it's also much more. Throughout its history, the church has observed Advent as a preparation not only for the first coming of Christ in his incarnation but also for his second coming at the last day. It's also about a third coming: the coming of Christ to meet us in our present moment, to make us holy by his Word and Sacrament.

In this short volume, priest and writer Tish Harrison Warren explores all three of these "comings" of Christ and invites us into a deeper experience of the first season of the Christian year.

Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites audiences to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring how its traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals all point us to Jesus.

Excellent! 🙌🏼

Top shelf prep for the season. Inviting, engaging, and rich. A bridge for all curious about what all the hub-bub’s about 😉👍🏼
THW’s a helluva good writer 👍🏼👍🏼

The call to patience was really helpful

An interweaving of history, exegesis, and personal narrative. I learned a great deal and found nails both inspired and encouraged. A beautiful book inside and out.

Great Introduction to Advent

Although I’ve been a Christian in the protestant and reformed tradition for 30 years, this was the first year that I started to give much thought to the rich Christian heritage bound up with our Lord’s three Advents. A dear brother in our church invited us to four consecutive Sunday evening Advent lessons that combined also combined hymn singing, food and fellowship around God’s word. It has been beautiful, rewarding, while also inspiring me to dig a little deeper. The book has been a great introduction to a gap in my Christian walk that perhaps like so many needs filling. Tolle lege. Hallelujah, come quickly Lord Jesus.
