Honest Advent: Awakening to the Wonder of God-With-Us Then, Here, and Now by Scott Erickson
5.0
5 stars | Will return to this every Advent
I first learned of Scott Erickson's art on Instagram from the Lazy Genius and immediately loved his art and how he uses art to convey deep meaning and emotion, so I purchased his Advent book. Every day of Advent had art to look at and reflect on and I am telling you, his art truly did make me stop and reflect. His writing for each day was poignant and made the normal messages of Advent seem fresh and new. But my favorite part of his book was the one word sentences at the end of each day. I think I must have journaled over 20 pages from just those sentences.
What Surprised Me Most: While I knew I would love the art in the book, I did not realize how Erickson would also use the written word to stop me in my tracks.
