While the world tries to rush us into Christmas, decorating the day after Halloween and packing it all up once the gifts are opened on December 25, Advent is a season of preparation that-like our holiday gatherings themselves-takes time and care. Think of the anticipation that comes with hosting loved ones for Christmas dinner: We begin by extending an invitation. We make plans, and as the event draws closer, we begin our preparations. Ultimately, we open the door and welcome our guests, and that is when, finally, we celebrate. ¿Advent should feel the same way, a time to make ready for the long-awaited event of Christ's birth. In Stay Awhile, pastor Kara Eidson presents a banquet table of inspiration for Advent, including weekly reflections for personal and small group use, brief daily devotions, and ideas to involve the whole congregation. Congregational resources include liturgies, sermon starters, children's moments, and even a no-rehearsals-needed Christmas pageant.

You will encounter the Holy Family and delight in the Epiphany, the "outburst" of our salvation. You will come to see how the Magi model the reverence and worship we owe to our Eucharistic Lord and how to approach Our Lady with childlike trust and total surrender.Cardinal Zen's inspired reflections will fill you with joyful expectation, prayerful penance, and spiritual preparation as you look to the salvation history of the past, and your present redemption being accomplished now.

Japanese Zen Buddhist monk Kaiten Nukariya's work, "The Religion of the Samurai," examines the religious and philosophical traditions of the samurai, the military class of mediaeval Japan. The book also discusses the ethics of Confucianism, Shintoism, and the place of Buddhism in the samurai's code of behavior. According to Nukariya, the samurai's religion was a special synthesis of numerous spiritual traditions, with Buddhism predominating. He examines how the samurai's view of life and death was impacted by the Buddhist ideas of impermanence, non-attachment, and the nature of suffering. He also explores the Confucian values of respect for authority and social order, which had a significant impact on the development of the samurai code of behavior. The significance of self-control, self-awareness, and inner calm in samurai spiritual practices is emphasized by Nukariya throughout the book. He also discusses the significance of mindfulness and meditation in developing these traits and how they enabled the samurai to reach a level of enlightenment. Overall, "The Religion of the Samurai" offers a thorough analysis of the religious and philosophical beliefs that influenced samurai culture and their way of life.

"Orphia dreams of something more than the warrior crafts she's been forced to learn. Hidden away on a far-flung island, her blood sings with poetry and her words can move flowers to bloom and forests to grow... but her father, the sun god Apollo, has forbidden her this art. A chance meeting with a young shield-maker, Eurydicius, gives her the courage to use her voice. After wielding all her gifts to defeat one final champion, Orphia draws the scrutiny of the gods. Performing her poetry, she wins the protection of the goddesses of the arts: the powerful Muses, who welcome her to their sanctuary on Mount Parnassus. Orphia learns to hone her talents, crafting words of magic infused with history, love and tragedy. When Eurydicius joins her, Orphia struggles with her desire for fame and her budding love. As her bond with the gentle shield-maker grows, she joins the Argonauts on their quest for the Golden Fleece. Facing dragons, sirens and ruthless warriors on the voyage, Orphia earns unparalleled fame, but she longs to return to Eurydicius. Yet she has a darker journey to make - one which will see her fight for her love with all the power of her poetry"--

The North Pole is too warm. The glaciers are beginning to melt, and the Jet stream which brings clean air from the Amazon all the way up to the Arctic, has slowed down. It will be Christmas soon but the deliveries of Brazil nuts and cocoa from the rainforest of Brazil, still have not arrived. How will the reindeer and elves manage without their supplies? When Santa receives a letter from a little boy in the Amazon explaining that land developers are cutting down the giant Brazil nut trees and clearing the cocoa orchards, it suddenly makes sense why the North Pole is so hot. After all, rainforests are the lungs of the planet. Santa decides to travel to South America to save the Amazon, but that means he might not have time for Christmas. He tasks everyone in the North Pole to find the magic crystals scattered across the Arctic. The reindeer will have the responsibility of transporting them to the Amazon, but there is a problem - the sleighs are too heavy. Does Santa have enough time to train the polar bears to pull the sleighs, have the North Pole's Christmas party and still deliver presents? This is turning out to be A Code Red Christmas indeed!
