Produktbeschreibung

"What would it mean to conceive of Christmas as the beginning, rather than end, of a celebratory season-a season meant to open you to a new awareness of God at work in your life?" -from the Introduction For many Christians, Advent and Christmas have simply become just another time of year, albeit more frenetic. It is for them that Mark Villano has written Time to Get Ready. He opens up the Scriptures, themes, and liturgical traditions of these holy seasons to better appreciate their meaning. He reveals the life-changing mystery of Christ, the invitations of grace all around. Consider this book a daily retreat, a time to let go of the activity and noise of life and simply listen. It will become a cherished companion as you prepare spiritually for Christmas and beyond.
