Awaiting Hope Courtney Sorrell Tepera

Waiting is a constant in our lives. We wait in lines at stores. We wait for the next paycheck. We wait for that important phone call. We wait in the bigger sense as well, in ways that we sometimes don't even fully realize. We wait for love to overcome hatred. We wait for hope to return. We wait for despair to give way to joy. We wait for the stillness of peace. In Awaiting Hope: Meditations for Advent and Christmas, Courtney Sorrell Tepera explores the ways that we find hope in waiting during the season of Advent. These devotional meditations blend personal stories of waiting and hope with the liturgical scriptures for each day of Advent. Awaiting Hope is a reminder that waiting does not last forever: that hope and joy and peace and love are found here and now in the person of Christ.
