Questions of guidance: Where should I live? Whom should I marry? What kind of work should I do? These are issues of both purpose and timing. In this Advent book, Amy Orr-Ewing helps us to discern the purposes of God as we see how perfectly His timing worked out in the lives of biblical characters, and to look forward, embracing hope for the future as we deepen our perspective on the time we have. As we go about our everyday lives, we can sometimes be unaware of the significant role we are playing in God's redemptive story. Be encouraged by the knowledge that God can work all the threads of your life into His beautiful masterpiece. Each of this book's 31 days comprises a Scripture reference, a comment and a prayer, followed by questions for reflection and personal application. Also included are suggestions for group activities, for those who may be working through the book with others.
