Excerpt
We are not a people who wait graciously, In the weeks preceding Christmas, when we are bombarded with reminders about the number of shopping days that remain, the idea of waiting with hope and anticipation, rather than rushing with anxiety, seems quite foreign to us. But it is precisely to this waiting with hope that the church calls us in the beginning of the liturgical year. It is this waiting with hope that Carroll Stuhlmueller invites us to celebrate and ponder in Biblical Meditations for Advent and the Christmas Season.

 The Gospel of Christmas: Reflections for Advent
Patty Kirk
Retail Price: $15.00
CBD Price: $10.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
A child yearns as at no other time in the days leading up to Christmas.
That yearning doesn't entirely go away as we grow older. It still lingers in the backs of our minds. We imagine that Christmas is mainly for children and our adult lives don't stop in the way that children's lives stop on Christmas morning, so we don't give ourselves time to notice the yearning. But it's there-hope mingled with anxiety about what lies ahead.
In The Gospel of Christmas, Patty Kirk helps us get in touch with our muted hopes and fears and reminds us that they are met and given their resolution in the coming of Christ, which Christmas celebrates and Advent anticipates, and all our lives prepare us for.
