I know that I am probably going to sound like a corporate hack trying to shill his company’s wares, but I really do want to alert you to our Advent Calendar for Adults. You can read these short and memorable reflections by clicking on the Daily Inspirations area on our Home Page. These Advent jewels are taken from our 2008: A Book of Grace-Filled Days by LaVonne Neff. I don’t know LaVonne very well, but I’ve read enough of her writing to be able to recommend her with complete confidence and enthusiasm. Her rich spiritual life flows into every sentence she writes. She is, as they say, “the real deal.”
