I know we’re all planning for Advent these days, but look what I got in the mail! It’s an advance reader copy of the Lent devotional I wrote: Prone to Wander: A Lenten Journey with Women in the Wilderness!

This book follows the same format as Expecting Emmanuel, with daily reflections, weekly blessings, and guides for group use in worship, small group, and retreat settings. I am especially thrilled that Michelle Burkholder has again provided stunning artwork to accompany the blessings.

Prone to Wander is scheduled to come out January 7 and is available for pre-order now! You can find more information, including the table of contents, on the Herald Press web site.

It has been a gift for me to spend time exploring and writing about these biblical women: Eve, Hagar, Zipporah, Vashti, Mary Magdalene, and so many others. Thanks for all of your encouragement and support.

And if you are planning to use Expecting Emmanuel this Advent season, remember there are some additional resources on my web site.
