Somehow Advent is the indwelling of hope from carnage, the blooming of possibility from scorched earth. - E.M. Welcher
Praise for Advent: a thread in the night:
"Ours is a culture that contracts feeling to a small range of superficial and acceptable affections. So we spend much of our life shrunken, shriveled, less alive than we ought to be. The tragedy of that is we spend much of our lives unprepared for Advent. Unready for inbreaking of so much feeling of so many varieties. Evan Welcher guides us through darkness, through feelings we don’t name at dinner parties or even in counseling sessions. He opens us up to ourselves and in doing so opens us up to the glorious good news of Advent. We feel again. We feel a lot. We feel God’s presence. Be prepared to feel when you read this collection.
-Thabiti Anyabwile Pastor, Anacostia River Church (Washington, DC)
“Evan captures grief and hope in a beautiful tension as he allows us a glimpse into his story and a grand view of Christ’s.”
-Quina Aragon, author & spoken word artist
"The great human desire is to find purpose in the midst of suffering. The Christian story declares God breaks into our dark nights and suffers alongside of us - taking on flesh, blood, and tears. Welcher is our guide on his personal journey--chronicling death and grief-- while discovering afresh the hope of the Resurrection and the power of Advent. Read, weep, and, in the process, rediscover hope."
-Steve Bezner, pastor at Houston Northwest Church
"With the sanctuary lights darkened, Christian worshipers cling to their candles on Christmas Eve. In this moment, the sadness of how broken things are is caught up in the joy of what was and what will be. In Advent, a Thread in the Night, E.M. Welcher invites the reader to walk alongside him in a journey of grief, loss, and hope. Grounded in Scripture, each daily reflection is an opportunity to explore our own griefs as we await the joy of Resurrection."
-April Fiet, pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Scottsbluff

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
