God With Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Christmas (Reader's Edition)

"This is our third year using this book as a family devotional guide to Advent. I have to say that each year I have looked more and more forward to going through this book again." -- 5-star Amazon review Be prepared to think, ponder and allow God to open your heart anew to the gift of his Son, as you prayerfully go through this Advent devotional and Scripture readings.

The Christmas season is difficult to grasp and understand in all its spiritual richness. The sentimentality and commercialism that dominate the season tend to obscure the profound mystery at its heart: the Incarnation. God With Us provides the perfect way to slow down and reconnect with the liturgical and sacramental traditions that illuminate the meaning of the Incarnation and bring it down to earth.

Featuring daily meditations for the complete seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, contributors Scott Cairns, Emilie Griffin, Richard John Neuhaus, Kathleen Norris, Eugene Peterson, and Luci Shaw offer a tapestry of reflection, Scripture, prayer and history. These profound words are enhanced by classic and contemporary art masterpieces carefully selected by the editors. God With Us will make anyone's journey to the stable in Bethlehem and the child in the manger utterly unforgettable.

"The birth of Jesus, kept fresh in our imaginations and prayers in song and story, keeps our feet on solid ground and responsive to every nuance of obedience and praise evoked by the life all around us." -Eugene Peterson, from the Introduction
