“Scott does a perfect job of removing the current taste of stale, commercialization, and male centered-ness out of the advent. He then brings back in the beauty, mystery, and wonder that this season was meant inspire. If you want an advent made for our moment of social and racial awakening, and that doesn’t oversimplify, this is it!”

Propaganda and Dr Alma Zaragoza-Petty, The Red Couch Podcast

“When I was an evangelical, I thought Christmas took too much emphasis away from Easter. When I was an atheist, I thought Christmas reinforced an absurd fairy tale. Me and Christmas, well, it’s complicated. That’s why I love Honest Advent. As a meditation on the vulnerability of God through the strange mystery of Christ’s Incarnation, Scott invites us not to master that mystery, but to experience it.”

Mike McHargue, Author of You’re a Miracle (and a Pain in the Ass) and host of Ask Science Mike

"We know of few other voices who so powerfully bring back the luster to tarnished, sacred things. Scott's Advent meditations will be an evergreen gift for the weary soul, calling out fresh and upending wonder at the incarnation, what it meant then and how we are to be now."

Katherine & Jay Wolf, Authors of "Suffer Strong" and "Hope Heals”

“There are so many things I love about Scott Erickson, and this Advent book brings them all together. His lens turned towards Mary, Jesus and incarnation helps me break through the incredibly solidified narratives of Christmas into something that moves me again, and helps me connect with the real earth, blood, sweat and tears - this happened here, on this earth, in our way, through human birth.”

Sara Groves, Recording Artist, Advocate

“Scott’s reflection of the Advent season through the connection of the misrepresented women in the Savior story, is not only healing and restorative but also brings us back into the story, where the feminine and the divine have always been.”

Arielle Estoria, Poet, Author, Speaker

“Beautiful. Evocative. A wake up call to the mystery of life.”

John Mark Comer, Author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

“This beautifully crafted piece of art explores immaculately the invasion of the best that Christmas means: Presence in our Present.”

Paul Young, The Shack
