Advent to Epiphany Reading Plan
This Sunday is the first Sunday of the Advent season. 🕯️ This year I’m using the reading plan from O Come, O Come, Emmanuel by Jonathan Gibson 📚 The book is an excellent resource for advent, but you can also just use the reading plan. I’m a day late posting this as the plan actually began yesterday.
Finished reading: Growing Downward by Nick Thompson
I was surprised by how consistently good this book was all the way through. It is definitely one of the top books I’ve read this year.📚
