About the book: The Meaning is in the Waiting - The Spirit of Advent
This inspiring Advent companion by Paula Gooder invites readers to rediscover the beauty and discipline of waiting. Drawing on biblical reflections, Gooder explores what it means to wait with hope, faith and patience in a fast-paced world that often rushes toward Christmas.
Through the stories of Abraham and Sarah, the prophets, John the Baptist, and Mary, the book reveals how waiting can shape us spiritually and draw us closer to God. With a foreword by Archbishop John Sentamu, this elegant and thoughtful guide offers meaningful daily reading during the Advent season.
