Description
During the holidays, we’re always moving on to the next plan, next party, or next present. By the end, we’re completely burned-out. But what if, instead, we made space to rest and really experience the wonder, hope, and stillness of baby Jesus laid in a manger?
This holiday season, celebrate God’s most precious gift by going on an experiential journey that engages all your senses as you slow down to savor God’s presence. Through 50 devotions starting at Thanksgiving and going into the New Year, you’re invited to pray with gratitude and worship Jesus wholeheartedly for coming to save you, and for promising to come again as the conquering King.
Through reflective prompts and practices, reconnect with the God who dwells in you and who will realign your relationships with others—and yourself—even amid the busyness of the season.
Advance Praise
"An invitation to reflect on what it means that God became human. . . . Here is a resource to invite multisensory engagement at this sacred time of year, to slow down and fully experience the mystery of God’s presence in human form, Jesus—and the mystery of God’s presence in us." — Mandy Smith, pastor and author
"Amanda and Hannah have written the rare book where the ordinary and extraordinary intersect in the most believable and poignant ways. I recommend Sense of Wonder for your journey of faith through the holidays." —Shane Stanford, author and former United Methodist pastor of 30 years, and current president of JourneyWise, a faith-based multimedia ministry
"There is a lot of focus on how to connect with God through knowledge, with our ‘minds,’ but less focus on how to connect with God with our bodies, hearts, and souls. And yet Jesus says that to love him, we must use all of these senses (Luke 10:27). Sense of Wonder invites you to bring yourself, fully embodied, into your relationship with Christ this holiday season." — Heather Thompson Day, author of I'll See You Tomorrow
