“Advent for Exiles by Caroline Cobb offers a gospel lens that directs our gaze backward and forward at the same time. Cobb writes her book with patience. She sits with her reader in the darkness of Old Testament exiles and takes her time to recall the beauty and brokenness of our own already-and-not-yet reality in Christ. Readers of Advent for Exiles will anticipate the first and final advent of Christ like a watchman waiting for a brilliant sunrise after a long night. Cobb weaves together biblical theology, song lyrics, prayers, and thoughtful exercises to trumpet a glorious truth: the coming of Christ redefines our past, sustains us in our present exile, and feeds our hope for an eternal home. Advent for Exiles by Caroline Cobb is a book worth savoring and singing along with this Advent season.”
