This book of daily devotions highlights well-known, and perhaps less familiar hymns that surrounds the season. From December 1 to January 6, from the first days of Advent, through Christmas, ending at Epiphany, each day, Gordon Giles invites you to draw closer to God through spiritual and historical explorations of beloved, familiar carols.
As you read and reflect, consider the meaning of some of the famous Christmas carols that we often sing without a passing thought. Meet obscure saints as well as living poets and musicians of faith, and reflect on the timeless truths of love and forgiveness, pain and loss, darkness and light, in preparation for the coming of the Light of the World.
Carols can teach and show us a great deal about our faith and can help us in our pilgrimage through life, reminding, cajoling, and inspiring us to take the incarnation of Jesus seriously and to live our lives in the marvelous light of the love that God shows us by sending Jesus to us as savior. Over the next few weeks, we will explore some of the Christmas music that we hear all too often, and some that may be unfamiliar.
We will meet Christians from the past, and living poets and musicians of faith. In their words we find profound spiritual insight but also sometimes questionable theology, mystical wonder, and pagan influence. We will dance with Christ, and walk with the wise men. We will travel to Turkey, Italy, Sweden, Germany, France, and Spain on our route to the cradle at Bethlehem. And then we will flee from Herod to Coventry, although our apparently bleak midwinter will still be warmed by the sun of righteousness.
As we venture into the season of Advent, and from there to Christmas and Epiphany, accompanied by a diverse group of musicians and poets, let us look for inspiration, hope, solace, and encouragement and remember that our ultimate desire is the praise of God, creator Father, incarnate Son, and living Spirit, not only at this time of year, but always. -- Introduction, O Come Emmanuel
