For those of us who believe that God has revealed Himself in the Bible for the purpose of growing us to godliness, it is inescapable that God loves story to get the job done. That is, God breaks into history, and our histories/lives, to create word and circumstance that draw us into deeper communion with Him.

Would you ever think that Dr. Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist; a view of sparkling city lights from above; attending the celebration of two men's domestic partnership; and a morning listening to the sounds in your neighborhood might contribute to your spiritual growth? Those are just the sorts of things that this book suggests Christians ought to pay attention to in order to see and hear the Voice of God as He seeks our attention to grow us up.

Yearning for a Year is organized around the ancient church calendar. For the wisdom of the centuries is that God broke into history in a specific rhythm, to draw us over and over again into the matters that matter most. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean that we are broken humans, healed by the God-Man? What does it mean to live by the Spirit in the ordinary days of our limited lives? These are the Great Themes of Everyear: the themes of Advent-Christmas, Lent-Easter-Pentecost, and so-called Ordinary time.

So, God's story, reflected in the annual cycle retelling His invasion of human history, and our story, reflected in our daily observation of and encounter with the Triune God, come together to teach us how to know Him more perfectly, how to grow closer to His likeness. Fifty-two very modern meditations rooted in the very ancient tradition of the church, enticing the reader to deeply yearn for more of Jesus. That is Yearning for a Year.
