Overview

"In Advent we prepare for the coming of all Love." --Madeleine L'Engle

"During the Advent season, the eternal significance of our days becomes crucial to our apprehending how, now and ever, God is with us." --Scott Cairns

"Christmas is about wonder, about the mystery of God entering our world; but it is also about how the incarnation transforms our world, so that even suffering and death can be endured with hope." --Emilie Griffin

The first Christmas sermon preserved in church history was preached by St. John Chrysostom in AD 386, in which he declared, "Behold a new and wonderful mystery!" In this volume, the Christian literary writers of the Chrysostom Society reflect on Advent and Christmastide as a bright and meaningful season of anticipation and glory. Through forty-two readings from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, contributors prepare us in watchful waiting for the coming of Jesus. We enter slowly so that the familiar can astonish us and become wondrous once again.

Jesus is born in Bethlehem. But not only there. He is also born in us, that we might bear his presence and impart his goodness to the world.
