This book is of a different tone and nature than the first two, as we experience the author leaning more toward his pastoral voice than the prophetic-though both remain in the mix. While these are not typical "devotional essays" written for each day of Advent or Lent, many of these essays were written during Kanagy's morning times with God in these two sacred seasons. In this book, we sense the author's passion for a deep life with God, and the recognition that it is only such a life-nurtured so often in the dark-that will finally see us Home.
