Seasons of Wonder

Description

A collection of activities, reflections, and devotions centered around the liturgical calendar, designed to fill every day of the year with wonder and spiritual nourishmentSeasons of Wonder is a plea to view and encounter the divine not in terms of certitude but as a vast, unfolding mystery. Focused on the oft-forgotten idea that mystery and marvel are essential components of faith, each week reveals something to do—an easy activity centered around the wonder of being alive—as well as something to contemplate in conversation.
 
This book is filled with meaningful spiritual practices like: 
  •  uncomplicated crafts that honor creation
  •  simple recipes to make together 
  •  conversation guides to cultivate the gifts of deep listening, mystery, and community 
 
Each week reveals how we can practice, seek, and connect to awe, surprise, and wonder—and how awe, surprise, and wonder bring us closer to God and closer to one another.   
 
At once practical and aesthetically pleasing, Seasons of Wonder is a timeless book for readers to share, cherish, and return to time and again.  Bonnie Smith Whitehouse, PhD, is a writer and professor who studies storytelling, creativity, contemplation, and wonder.
