A 52-week interactive devotional that helps families and friends
discover God enfleshed in the world.
"A devotional in the most all-encompassing sense, Seasons of Wonder
sets readers on a path that leads to a year filled with more hope, more
sweetness, more grace, and more love."--Margaret Renkl, author of Late
Migrations and PEN Award Winner
Seasons of Wonder is designed to allow you to gather together weekly
with your loved ones and expand your understanding of divinity,
specifically the radical but faithful idea that everything is sacred.
This devotional is designed around weekly contemplative activities as
well as interactive and transformative practices that connect us to
surprise, awe, and wonder, including:
- uncomplicated crafts that honor creation
- simple recipes to make together
- conversation guides to cultivate the gifts of storytelling, deep
listening, mystery, and community
- accessible introductions to liturgical observations and rituals
- plus four additional weeks of activities that you can incorporate
whenever they're appropriate, such as birthdays, sick days, or when
you're traveling together or blessing your home
In February readers might make a hiking stick to embark on a holy
pilgrimage (even if it's just in the neighborhood) and discover the
meaning of Ash Wednesday, while in the summer months they can learn how
to cherish the Earth's seasons of holy pause by making prayer cards,
bath salts, or family time capsules alongside the reading of peaceful
liturgies and ancient prayers.
Bonnie Smith Whitehouse invites us all to consider the life-changing
idea that small, intentional moments of wonder are charged
manifestations of the grand presence of Christ in me, in you, and in
this dazzling, vast--and imperiled--blue planet we call our beloved
home. By spending a short amount of time together with Seasons of
Wonder every week this year, you can transform an ordinary meeting into
a sacred gathering.
