God With Us
God With Us: God With Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Christmas (Reader's Edition) | Greg Pennoyer
3 posts | 1 read
Christmas is the season most difficult to grasp and understand in all its spiritual richness. The sentimentality and commercialism that dominate the season tend to obscure the profound mystery at its heart: the Incarnation. God with Us provides the perfect way to slow down and reconnect with the liturgical and sacramental traditions that illuminate the meaning of Christmas and the Incarnation. In daily meditations for the complete seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, the contributors offer a tapestry of reflection, Scripture, prayer, and history. God with Uswhich has sold more than 25,000 copies in its original, illustrated, $30 editionwill make anyone's journey to the stable in Bethlehem and the child in the manger unforgettable. This new "Reader's Edition" is designed to make the book more affordable, able to reach an even wider cross-section of readers.

(Posting some belated reviews today!)

I‘ve really enjoyed the poetry of Scott Cairns and Luci Shaw, who are both contributors to this Advent devotional—and when you throw in Kathleen Norris and Eugene Peterson? I was sold. I tried reading a digital copy last year, but couldn‘t get into it. This year, the physical copy made all the difference. The artwork included and the overall design is just lovely. With readings for each day of Advent ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d)…through Epiphany, as well as for the feast days that fall in between, this is a rich resource for the Advent season. It was wonderful—reflective and thought-provoking. I‘m looking forward to reading it again next year. 3mo

“God is, finally, unknowable. Still, while he is not to be absolutely known, he is apparently willing to reveal something of himself to us at nearly every turn. Think of it like this: he cannot be exhausted by our ideas about him, but he is everywhere suggested. He cannot be comprehended, but he can be touched.”
—Scott Cairns

“As we are searching for God, the good news is that God is searching for us. Better yet, he has found us. The great question is not whether we have found God, but whether we have found ourselves being found by God. God is not lost.”
—Richard John Neuhaus
