Upper Room While We Wait: Living the Questions of Advent

This book offers new ways of connecting study participants with their own faith questions. Group members have the chance to look at some biblical figures on whom we don't always focus during Advent. Somewhat surprisingly, Tamar, Ruth, Mary, Zechariah, Elizabeth, and the Magi ask questions that resonate with contemporary Christians during this season. Designed as a complete Advent study, this book offers readers unique perspectives on the events of Christmas, a fifth session for the week of Epiphany, an introduction to the spiritual discipline of breath prayer, and much more.

This product allowed us the freedom to explore our own questions. It was a liberating experience to read the stories with new eyes and a better understanding of the cultural norms of the time.
Breath prayers were a wonderful way of reminding us of how we "live and breathe and have our being in God."
Thoughtful, provocative, and enlightening study.
