Gayle Boss invites us to realize that God can be known in all creatures, and that paying attention to these creatures makes us more fully human, more fully ourselves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The practice of Advent has always been about helping us to grasp the mystery of a new beginning out of what looks like death. Other-than-human creatures—sprung, like us, from the Source of Life—manifest this mystery without question or doubt. The more I’m with animals and the more I learn about them, the more I know they can be more than our companions on this planet. They can be our guides. They can be to us ‘a book about God...a word of God,’ the God who comes, even in the darkest season, to bring us a new beginning.” —from \u003ci\u003eAll Creation Waits\u003c\/i\u003e","published_at":"2022-10-05T11:00:01","created_at":"2022-10-05T11:00:01","vendor":"Paraclete Press","type":"CHRISTMAS BOOKS","tags":["Subject_Advent","Type_Books"],"price":2400,"price_min":2400,"price_max":2400,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[40246317056067],"variants":[{"id":40246317056067,"product_id":6744442241091,"product_handle":"all-creation-waits-1","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"892-0644","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"ALL CREATION WAITS - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":2400,"weight":250,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":2,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":null}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781640608047_1.jpg?v=1721425612","\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781640608047.in02.jpg?v=1721425663","\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781640608047.in03.jpg?v=1721425687"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/9781640608047_1.jpg?v=1721425612","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/all-creation-waits-1"}
