Embark on a captivating Advent journey that will transform your perspective on the holiday season. This unique book study invites you to explore the profound wisdom hidden in nature’s winter adaptations, offering a fresh and inspiring approach to the Christ story.
Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God. Every creature is a word of God. If I spend enough time with the tiniest creature, even a caterpillar, I would never have to prepare a sermon. So full of God is every creature. – Meister Eckhart
