ELUL 5785
Tonight (the new moon of Elul) begins the forty days of Teshuvah. Gail Landgraf’s book, Christian Meditations for Elul, can be used as a helpful devotional tool. It contains daily meditations for reading during the 30 days of this Hebraic month called Elul. This book was written from a Christian perspective, especially for The IN SEASON Lifestyle Community and followers. (If you do not have this devotional book you may order it here: https://amzn.to/45xabUU.)
The last 10 days of Teshuvah are covered in another devotional book by Gail Landgraf. The second book of the season is called The Ten Days of Awe for Christians. This second book can be ordered here: https://amzn.to/3UKWU4R. The Ten Days of Awe are the ten days right after the month of Elul ends. These days begin the month of Tishrei on the Hebraic calendar. The first Day of Awe is Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets.) The tenth day of Awe ends with The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur.)
LOVELY DEVOTIONS FOR EACH DAY OF THE SEASON
The whole season of Elul combines the two time-periods. Elul and the first ten days of Tishrei run into one another during the season of Elul. Together they are 40 days. Meditations for The Ten Days of Awe help us remember to seek God’s face during this season. The richness of each individual day is broken down into smaller portions to be slowly digested and savored.
THE TEN DAYS OF AWE FOR CHRISTIANS contains a further, deeper study for the season of Teshuvah. There is a different meditation for each of the ten days inside this small, easy to read devotional book. If you place your order now, this book could arrive in time for you to use it during this year’s season. You will have it handy for reference and a deeper focus during every year of future worship.
ORDER NOW BEFORE THE SEASON HAS PASSED
We hope you decide to order both of these lovely publications. Even if you order later into the season, you will have the books on hand for next year. The writing is deliberately timeless. Each devotion aptly applies to any year’s season of The Ten Days of Awe. You are then able to enjoy this beautiful season of searching our hearts toward God with daily meditations for each year’s new season.
We have found that people love to purchase these two books for gifts to give during The Feast of Tabernacles and Hanukkah. Though the subjects are about the season of Elul, the contents also apply to daily life. In either case, the person receiving the devotional books will have them ready for next year’s fall season. They make a very thoughtful and interesting gift.
OUR PRAYER FOR YOU
The IN SEASON Lifestyle Community is praying that this season of Elul will fill your heart with God’s divine mercy. We are requesting that every day brings you closer to His Presence. It is our sincere hope that the chesed love of God permeates every ounce of your being during Elul and ever after.
