The Advent season is one of expenctancy and anticipation. But it is not fulfilled completely in the Nativity. For it is not until the Transfiguration that God's people can even begin to really understand what the fulfillment of God's promise might mean.
Joe E. Pennel Jr. takes his reader on that journey "From Anticipation to Transfiguration" with the sensitive insight that Christmas is not the end but the beginning of God's promise to his people.
Messages include:
- Shaped by the Future
- Away with the Stable
- The Called Ones
- Fog-Cleared Moments
and thirteen more
For use with Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic Lectionaries.
