O Come!: Reflections, Questions, and Prayers for the Days of Advent

This devotional book provides a daily reflection, questions for consideration, and a prayer for each of the twenty-eight days in the church season of Advent. It is intended for integration into a daily practice of preparation and reflection during Advent. Readers are encouraged to relate the seasonal themes of expectancy, renewal, and preparation into their daily lives. Images and descriptions are drawn from Scripture and daily life to address the reader directly.
