Shadow and Light: A Journey Into Advent by Tsh Oxenreider
5.0
Tsh Oxenreider is someone whose voice I listen to weekly on her podcast The Good List (and previous podcasts too). I also read the book she wrote about her family’s year long adventure traveling around the world. I like her philosophy, her conviction, and her style. She often talks about her faith in a way that is honoring and accessible. So I was excited to use Shadow and Light to celebrate Advent in 2020 and my expectations were exceeded.
Shadow and Light is a beautiful guide for Advent. The daily readings were relevant and beautiful. The additional resources added much to the experience. I absolutely loved the music playlist and phenomenal art chosen for each day. I didn’t use the personal reflection section at the back of the book this year (but I loved the option).
Tsh clarified the liturgical seasons for me. She also by example and invitation changed how I spent my days leading up to Christmas. My hands may have been busy but my heart posture was more still and joyful than in prior years. Plus we have plans to celebrate the Christmastide season differently this year. This is a wonderful Advent book, one I recommend highly.
