A Family Journey

Connecting the past with the present journey, this resource offers a ""you are there"" and ""you are here now"" variety of reflections on the symbols of the journey: the star, path, a place, family and the baby Jesus.

In A Family Journey, Dallas A. Brauninger defines family as all persons bound together on the journey by blood ties or mutual commitments that are sustained by shared memory and common hope.

Each chapter offers a wreath candle lighting service for Advent and Christmas Eve.
