Advent: A Guide
Poems, Passages & Prompts
“WITH” a poem by Sarah Bourns Crosby from the Advent Guide
In this collection, you will find poems to ponder, passages of Scripture to read slowly, and a prompt to reflect upon quietly or to discuss with others.
Beginning with A Table Blessing for your holiday gatherings, and concluding with Let There Be Light for Christmas Eve, these 15 meditations can be used throughout the Advent season over your family meals, during your own peaceful moments alone, or as part of your church and community events.
This beautifully designed 62-page guide could make the perfect thank-you-gift for your volunteers or staff, as stocking stuffers, for a gift exchange, or for your own quiet reading by the tree.
Purchases made by November 17th will be received in time to read A Table Blessing on Thanksgiving!

“Your Advent collection has blessed me so much. I love the words. The depth. The beauty!”
“I come back to your poem, “For Those Who Wait” and read through it again and again. Since I received your book, I have been drawn to this piece and I am so grateful for the peace that has come from Jesus through this poem. I just wanted to thank you. Your poetry has been a beautiful source of encouragement in our lives.”
