Synopsis:

From the world's best-loved writers a spiritual reading for every day of the holiday season.

Either way, its subtle and beautiful reflections on the true meaning of the season will give new dimension to the phrase "holiday preparations."

Review: It's hard to go wrong with 40 essays and poems from theological writers such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dorothy Day, Madeleine L'Engle, Martin Luther, Kathleen Norris, Henri Nouwen, Philip Yancey, Karl Barth and Siren Kierkegaard. These are not frivolous, feel-good Advent readings; they are deep, sometimes jarring reflections, many with a strong orientation toward social justice This collection, born of obvious passion and graced with superb writing, is a welcome even necessary addition to the glutted holiday bookshelves.--Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
