My Soul Waits: Praying with the Psalms Through Advent, Christmas & Epiphany - Paperback

by Martin Shannon (Author)

For Advent, Christmas and Epiphany, this new devotional combines the words of the Psalms, meditations from the Church Fathers, and a prayer as a guide for the reader through the various twists and turns on the journey to our Lord's Nativity. These beloved words from Scripture mirror our own thoughts and emotions--hope and expectation, suffering and patience, confession and healing--and are as relevant for the modern spiritual reader as when they were first sung in the Temple.
