I have been thinking this year of using the season of Advent as a time of reflection much like I have done for Lent in the past. There are a few books out there to help, but I have decided to buy Lisa Bodenheim’s Disturbing Complacency which arrived pretty quickly from Wild Goose Publications.

The blurb on the back of the book: ‘Disturbing Complacency does not advocate a ‘cosy’ view of Christmas but rather urges people to use this season to address some of the most important issues of our time. To do so the author makes creative use of quotes from other sources, interspersed with her own perspective on the subjects under consideration’.

Advent is still a couple of weeks away which is why I am thinking about this now. I wonder if there may be others out there considering something similar and so there is an opportunity to reflect together.
