In the fullness of joy and mystery : Immanuel, God with us ! In the days when the angels sang Glory to God in the highest ! the world awakened - even as now, with this treasure box of poetic and powerful Christmas readings, our own hearts waken anew to the joy and mystery of the Incarnation : In the days when the archangels spoke... Exploding songs of fire accross the firmament, Sheeting the fields of shepards in a flaming rain... Could anyone have stayed asleep ? As rare and precious as the gifts the magi brought the Christ child are the jewels presented in these pages by one of America's most beloved Christian storytellers. Full of vivid imagery and unexpected turns, the stories, essays, and original carols are lovingly crafted to reflect not only the Christmas story, but the whole of God's redemptive action in the world : I will love you till day is done-- Love you until that night, Night of dying, Dies in rising! Then in the holy dawn I will bear you, my children, home... Such is the beauty and power of these compelling pieces, whether you read them silently by the fire or aloud at your Advent celebration, you'll want to return to them year after year, again and again.
