Publisher Description

"There are only two places where the powerful and great in this world lose their courage, tremble in the depths of their souls, and become truly afraid. These are the manger and the cross of Jesus Christ.""No priest, no theologian stood at the cradle of Bethlehem. And yet, all Christian theology finds its beginnings in the miracle of miracles, that God became human."These stirring words are among forty devotions that guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Advent and Christmas, from waiting and mystery to redemption, incarnation, and joy. Supplemented by an informative introduction, short excerpts from Bonhoeffer's letters, and passages from his Christmas sermons, these daily devotions are timeless and moving reminders of the true gift of Christmas.

"This is a challenging devotional. Take the time to let the words sink in. You will find gratitude for your own situation in these readings regardless of what it might be. Bonhoeffer is a truly remarkable man. I wish that there were more like him in this world."

Quotes

  • “These Advent and Christmas reflections of Bonhoeffer flew from his prison cell, flung open the doors of hope, and sailed heavenward as heart-wrenching prayers, prayers from a condemned man, prayers from a hopeful man, prayers from a man who embodied what it means to pray ‘May your kingdom come.’ This will be my Advent and Christmas book.”

    — Scot McKnight, Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies, North Park University; and author of The Jesus Creed and The Blue Parakeet

    " Excellent read throughout Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany... A healthy dose of Bonhoeffer, some of the writers he greatly influenced, and the Scriptures for each day of the Advent season, the Twelve Days of Christmas, and Epiphany... "

    " I don't think this was a good book to listen to as an audiobook. I craved the written text to underline and re-read and to get a sense of structure. Even though they were short discrete devotions, the audio was a hard format to read this in. I seem to think the hardcopy would be more beneficial. "

    " Really enjoyed this devotional for Advent 2012. It is written to work no longer when Advent begins and has devotionals through Epiphany (January 6). Short readings for each day, but packed with powerful thoughts for this blessed season. "

    " Short, concise, but deliciously deep, devotional for the Season of Advent & Christmas taken from some of Bonhoeffer's reflections from prison. "
