What a wonderful book with which to welcome Christmas! Beginning with Advent and continuing through Christmas to Epiphany, this volume consists of forty-five readings, one for each day of the season. Each entry challenges the reader to look beyond the modern commercialization of Christmas in order to prepare for and celebrate the birth of Christ. Most of the entries are excerpts from sermons and theological writings, but poems such as T. S. Eliot's "The Journey of the Magi" are also included. With contributions from C. S. Lewis, Annie Dillard, Martin Luther, Madeleine L'Engle, John Donne, Thomas Merton, and more, Watch for the Light makes an inspiring - and inspired - early-Christmas gift.
