About the Book

An ECPA 2023 Christmas Bestseller​!
A special gift edition of the bestselling book for Advent that reveals the wisdom and wonder of animals in the natural world

In twenty-five portraits depicting how wild animals of the northern hemisphere ingeniously adapt when darkness and cold descend, we see and hear as if for the first time the ancient wisdom of Advent: The dark is not an end but the way a new beginning comes. Short, daily reflections capture in vivid detail the intricate and astonishing ways that familiar animals, from the honeybee to the porcupine, prepare for winter. Each day's reading is paired with a charming original woodcut illustration. Anyone who feels tired of the consumer hype of "the holiday season" will be refreshed and awakened to the eternal truth the natural world reveals.

This special gift edition:

  • Includes a new introduction, with suggestions for how the book can be used during Advent
  • Features inspirational thoughts from men and women through the ages - scientists, poets, and philosophers - who have found God through the beauty of creation
  • Includes an Afterword, bringing readers up to date on what has happened since All Creation Waits was first published
  • Invites quiet reflection during an often-chaotic holiday season
  • Prompts meaningful conversations between children and adults, church groups, book clubs, creation care classes, and much more
  • Ribbon marker to mark each page

Written with quiet passion and backed by extensive research, All Creation Waits has captured the minds and hearts of thousands of readers of all ages, from children to adults. Gayle Boss invites us to realize that God can be known in all creatures, and that paying attention to these creatures makes us more fully human, more fully ourselves.

"The practice of Advent has always been about helping us to grasp the mystery of a new beginning out of what looks like death. Other-than-human creatures--sprung, like us, from the Source of Life--manifest this mystery without question or doubt. The more I'm with animals and the more I learn about them, the more I know they can be more than our companions on this planet. They can be our guides. They can be to us 'a book about God...a word of God, ' the God who comes, even in the darkest season, to bring us a new beginning." --Gayle Boss from All Creation Waits
