Gayle Boss’ life-long love of animals and her immersion in spiritual texts and practices have melded into poems and essays that explore how relationships with animals specifically, and an attentive presence in the natural world generally, restore us to our deepest selves. Now available as a set, Gayle Boss’ bestselling advent devotional, All Creation Waits, and her Lenten devotional, Wild Hope, make the perfect addition to your bookshelf.
Included in this collection:
All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings
In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: the dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes. Short, daily reflections that paint vivid, poetic images of familiar animals, paired with charming original wood-cuts, will engage both children and adults. Anyone who does not want to be caught, again, in the consumer hype of “the holiday season” but rather to be taken up into the eternal truth the natural world reveals will welcome this book.
Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing
Spend Lent with twenty-five of the animals that are vanishing at a faster rate than at any other time in Earth’s history. Vivid descriptions of their lives will fill readers with wonder—and grief at what they suffer on a planet shaped by human choices. Their stories thaw our stiff hearts and wake us to greater compassion—which is what Lent, meaning “springtime,” has always been for. These stories also wake in us a wild hope that from all this death and ruin, something new could rise. In fact, as these stories also attest, our hope, though wild, is not impossible and is already loose in the world.
