another preview of my advent ebook

As you all know, last week I released my eBook, This Fearsome Thing of Grace, a collection of Advent reflections from the first Sunday to Christmas Eve. I am home, painting, baking, and buried in my thesis. But there is the livelihood to be considered, shamed as I am to say it aloud. So, as is the case when it comes to these things, I’m pitching it hard and fast right at you.

The blurb on the description:

Daily reflections for Advent 2011, based on the lectionary readings from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. From the first Sunday of Advent to Christmas Eve, these are pooled words, short insights, and thoughts to hold close as we journey together toward the coming of our Saviour. Part memoir, part reflection, daily offerings of simple grace. Features hyperlinks to each of the day’s readings for easy access.

Four ways to buy:

For your Kindle.

For iPad or iPhone to be in iBooks.

For any other eReader, including iPad and iPhone. (Download from Lulu, then drag the file into iTunes to load it into iBooks, or open the file in whatever eReader you have! If you need one, Adobe Digital Editions is a free reader that works on everything but Mac OSX Lion.)

For computer and to print, as a PDF. (Download from Lulu and you’re ready to go!)

Today I am honored to release my eBook, This Fearsome Thing of Grace: Reflections for Advent Year B.

The book is a collection of daily readings spanning from the first Sunday of Advent, November 27th, to Christmas Eve. Each day features the appointed readings from the Book of Common Prayer lectionary, hyperlinked for easy-access to the text online in the ESV translation. Beneath the readings is a brief, 300ish-word reflection for the day based on a meme that was born out of the reading. Sometimes memoir, sometimes pure reflection, sometimes theology. All the content is original, though, if you’re a regular here, you know that I used the word cosmos a little bit.

To give you a feel for the text, I am providing a sample below from the first week. The hyperlinks are not active and the spacing does not reflect the spacing in the eBook form. This was a simply cut and paste job.

You can purchase the book from Lulu here and then import it into iTunes or your eReader. iBookstore and Nook store releases are pending, but coming soon. Continue Reading…
