What We're Reading This Advent

Six books — one for each week of Advent plus a bonus — that have shaped our staff's waiting.

Advent is a reading season around here. Not because we're especially literary — because the waiting itself asks us to slow down, and a good book is a good metronome for that.

This year's list

We'll post short reviews of each on the Journal over the next six weeks. Read with us — or don't. Either way, may the waiting do its slow, good work in you.
