Advent Ordering & Shipping Information

Embodied LightAdvent Reflections on the IncarnationMelissa Tidwell

#1214 • 978-0-8358-1214-6 • $12.00

Advent invites us to ponder the mystery of incarnation—our Creator’s daring adventure of becoming human and living among us. During this 4-week study you will discover how to follow this fully human yet fully divine Jesus with your whole self—mind, spirit, and body. You’ll learn the answer to these questions: What does it really mean that God became human? How can I embody God’s love in my own life?

John A. Stroman
