Waiting in the LightDaily Prayers for AdventBy Steve GivensSometimes, Advent can seem like a dark and dreary time of year. We may have less daylight or become more stressed by the hustle and bustle that is all around us. And without Jesus, we are a people in darkness.

In Waiting in the Light, author Steve Givens provides an inspiring prayer, accompanied by Scripture, for each day of the season. Being attentive to prayer and God’s Word allows us to see the light shining through the darkness. Through prayer and reflection, we more clearly see Jesus, the Light of the World, this Christmas.32 pages • 3⅞" x 5½ Code WL4
