God With Us

Rediscovering the Meaning of Christmas

By Cairns, Scott & Griffin, Emilie & Neuhaus, Richard John & Pennoyer, Greg & Wolfe, Gregory

Publishers Summary:
God with us. This is the meaning of the Incarnation. This is the meaning of Christmas. When we cut through all of the sentiment and marketing to the spiritual richness and vitality of Christmas, we not only discover who God is, but who we are as human beings. When we become adults, and the wide-eyed wonder of childhood has passed, we need to replace what was once magical with something much more meaningful. Now is the time to put first things first, and seek silence, if only for a few precious minutes a day. Now, ever more intently, we are to watch and listen for God. God With Us is a companion for those who want to experience Christmas as the early Christians once did, set in the larger context of Advent and Epiphany. Through daily meditations, scripture, prayer, illuminating history and fine art, we experience what saints have glimpsed through the ages - the wonder of God made flesh.
