Though Christians the world over make yearly preparations for Lent, there's a conspicuous lack of good books for that other great spiritual season: Advent. All the same, this four-week period leading up to Christmas is making a comeback as growing numbers reject shopping-mall frenzy and examine the deeper meaning of the season.

Ecumenical in scope, these fifty devotions invite the reader to contemplate the great themes of Christmas and the significance that the coming of Jesus has for each of us - not only during Advent, but every day. Whether dipped into at leisure or used on a daily basis, Watch for the Light gives the phrase "holiday preparations" new depth and meaning.

Electric grinders
Color: Black/Black
Easy to refill. We use pink Himalayan salt and the grinder does well. It seems to struggle a bit with the peppercorns bit still gets the job done. The light is nice. We have enjoyed the ease of use. It also looks nice on the counter. The holder is great as it catches any fine debris after use. I purchased this one as it uses actual batteries and not something else I have to charge. They have been used daily for 2 months and have not needed to change the batteries yet.

I Feel Like a Fancy Chef Every Time I Season My Fries
Color: Green
This Salt and Pepper Grinder, Electric Automatic has officially upgraded my kitchen from “microwave expert” to “TV cooking show contestant.” One button press and suddenly I’m seasoning food with dramatic confidence like I know exactly what I’m doing. The automatic grinding works smoothly and quickly, and I love how consistent the grind size is. Whether I want a fine sprinkle or a coarser grind, it handles both perfectly. The motor is surprisingly strong, and it doesn’t struggle or jam like some cheaper grinders I’ve used before. The design also looks sleek and modern sitting on the counter. It feels comfortable in the hand, easy to refill, and the clear container makes it simple to see when it’s time for more salt or pepper. Huge bonus: no wrist workout required. My manual grinder used to make me feel like I was training for an arm wrestling tournament. I’ve been using it daily, and now even scrambled eggs get five star restaurant treatment. Friends noticed it immediately and asked where I got it which made me feel unnecessarily sophisticated for someone eating frozen pizza. Overall, convenient, stylish, and genuinely useful. If you want effortless seasoning with a little extra kitchen drama, this grinder is a winner

Good BASIC Set
Color: Black/Black
I just got these a week ago. I like them, but I wished I would have gotten some with more features. I never had electric grinders so I am comparing them to hand grinding. It's a step up for sure. It was easy to load the batteries, but it seems four batteries per grinder is a lot. I hope they last a while. Loading the salt and pepper was rather easy also. It's nice to have control on the size of the grind, but I wish there was control on the amount it puts out on one quick press of the button. It was too much in my opinion. It does have a light at the bottom so you can see how much seasoning you are putting on the food. The tray they sit in gets dirty very quickly, so you will have to wash it out frequently. This is a good basic set for the price, they do the job of grinding the seasoning. However, in hindsight, I would have picked some with more features and a little more decoration.
