Season of Emmanuel - Daily Reflections for Advent and Christmas (Paperback)

Using both daily and Sunday lectionaries as the basis for daily reflections, this book takes readers from the first day of Advent through the 12 days of Christmas to the Epiphany. From the first Sunday of Advent to the Baptism of the Lord, the scripture readings tell the story of God's Son coming as a human being. The book helps the reader to make the connection between those readings and their own life. Uniting the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany into a meaningful whole, Kay Murdy provides daily scripture readings, historical notes, spiritual commentaries, reflection questions and prayers. Deepened faith in the mystery of the incarnation should manifest itself in personal prayer, communal worship and service to others.
