"Each of the beautiful creatures in this little book is a unique word of God, its own metaphor, all of them together drawing us to the One we all belong to. Adapting to the dark and cold they announce in twenty-four different ways the Good News of Advent: that through every dark door the creating Love of the universe waits." --Richard Rohr, OFM, "To be awake in the world each winter is to sense loss, to know the weight of waiting. This book's illustrations and descriptions of the winter habits of 24 animals are gentle lessons in biology--about how lactic acid pools in the bloodstream of a turtle or a porcupine's gut digests wood. But the animals are also a metaphor for faith, and the final chapter explores the meaning of a God who became incarnate 'as a child at home among animals' for the sake of a creation that still waits." --Christian Century, All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings showcases twenty-five fresh images of the foundational truth that lies beneath and within the Christ story. In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes. Short, daily reflections that paint vivid, poetic images of familiar animals, paired with charming original wood-cuts, will engage both children and adults. Anyone who does not want to be caught, again, in the consumer hype of 'the holiday season' but rather to be taken up into the eternal truth the natural world reveals will benefit immensely from reading All Creation Waits . An informative and inspiring read from cover to cover, All Creation Waits is especially recommended to all members of the Christian community regardless of denominational affiliation. --Midwest Book Review|9781640608047|, "Gayle Boss writes lovingly about animals in their habitats using rich and lyrical language. Children will learn--and be awestruck--as their parents read about creatures they know, and don't know. I'm certain families will make reading this lovely book together a yearly tradition, whether they observe Advent or not. All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings is a beautiful addition to any family library." --Deborah Heiligman, author of Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith , a National Book Award Finalist, "This is the book I gave to my family and friends two Christmases ago in hard copy. It is one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen and so deeply moving with the story each day from December 1 to December 25 about what it takes for different animals to get through the winter cold. This book is something to share with your family or even alone to touch something that is very rare, and so real and heart-rending." -- Trina Paulus , author of Hope for the Flowers "This book reminds me of what St. Paul tells us in Romans 8:19--All creation waits! In this invigorating view of Advent the contrasts are beautifully presented--between darkness and light, waiting and arrival, sleeping and waking, human and animal creatureliness. The stories and illustrations partake of the kind of reality Christ exemplified in his Advent...How helpful it is to join the animals during their Advent waiting." --Luci Shaw , Writer in Residence, Regent College, author and poet "This book is a delight to savor and behold. I am someone who believes that the earth is our original monastery, and this worthy guide invites us intimately into the gifts of winter by exploring the rhythms of various birds, bees, and animals during the holy season of Advent. A lovely invitation into the quiet mysteries of darkness." --Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, author of Illuminating the Way: Embracing the Wisdom of Monks and Mystics, "A wonderfully refreshing sidelong book that makes you stop and think and ponder and consider and contemplate and see not only Advent but your entire blessed life with new eyes. Which seems to me to be the whole point of any generous honest art. Which All Creation Waits most certainly is." --Brian Doyle, author of Chicago, "This is the book I gave to my family and friends two Christmases ago in hard copy. It is one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen and so deeply moving with the story each day from December 1 to December 25 about what it takes for different animals to get through the winter cold.

I love the woodcuts that accompany each chapter, and my children love the facts about the animals explored each day. Poignant, wise, fascinating." -- Sarah Clarkson , From the Vicarage
