Nature and winter. Depending on where you live, these two words may mean one snow. Snow that makes it harder for you to get out of the house; snow that makes it harder for you to get your holiday chores done; snow that makes traveling treacherous. But what if that snow was an opportunity? The final book in a series of four seasonal meditations books, Winter Meditations explores religious topics in the context of modern-day life. The twelve reflections in this book follow the rhythms of the winter season, helping you rediscover the beauty of a balanced, God-centered life
