In the spirit of expectancy, these meditations focus on seeking and seeing God in the everyday of ordinary lives based on a psalm that corresponds to the daily office for the season of Advent.
“Anne Kitch hears the still small voice beneath the roar of everyday life. In Expectant, a quiet, poetic, meditative, and accessible book, she tells you what she has heard, and shows you, by example, how to listen.”
––Sean Rowe, eighth bishop of the Diocese of Northwest Pennsylvania
“These small bite-size nuggets of spiritual wisdom allow us to comprehend what the mature life of faith lived out over a lifetime has to offer us.”
––Sylvia Sweeney, dean and president of Bloy House, The Episcopal School at Claremont
“Walking with Anne and the psalmist in this season of holy expectation offers us a luminous, numinous experience as we wait in vigilant hope for the coming of Jesus.”
––Peter M. Wallace, producer and host of “Day1” and author of
Getting to Know Jesus (Again): Meditations for Lent
“Anne Kitch crafts an Advent calendar to enlighten predawn darkness, carry through the day, and ponder well into the winter night.”
––Sam Portaro, former Episcopal Chaplain to the University of Chicago and Director of Brent House, author of
Sense and Sensibility: A Lenten Exploration
