A Companion for Advent and Christmastide
This companion for Advent and Christmastide is a guide to celebrating the season through a narrative of renewal and an attendant cavalcade of recipes and craft ideas, all exquisitely written by Lanier Ivester and lavishly illustrated by Jennifer Trafton.
Tangible acts of feasting and celebrating have suffused Lanier Ivester's home all her life. But in the past decade, she's wrestled with profound losses that have reshaped the landscape - both around her and within her. These coexisting forces of great grief and great joy come together in this extraordinary Advent book (lavishly illustrated by Jennifer Trafton), which not only reminds us of the inescapable presence of sorrow, but shows us how to celebrate and anticipate the return of glad and golden hours in the midst of it.
This is a book that far surpasses the trappings of a mere cookbook or a collection of craft projects. It's an embodiment of a rich theology of creation, of what it means to be human when everything is both falling apart and coming back together.
At its heart, Glad and Golden Hours is a companion that leads us through the seasons of Advent and Christmastide, illuminating the deep reality of the Kingship of Christ and our invitation into the richness of the Feast to come.
