Book Reviews of Love Came Down: Anglican Readings for Advent and Christmas
Book Review: Prayers and Meditations for Advent-tide and Christmastide
Summary: 5 Stars
Most Christians -- and even many non-Christians -- eagerly look forward each year to the Christmas season (or Christmastide), when homes and businesses alike are lit with colorful lights and festooned with seasonal decorations. Often lost in the Christmas "Rush," however, is the important liturgical season of Advent (or Advent-tide), the four week period preceding Christmas Day. Advent is a time of personal as well as communal reflection and preparation, as we await the coming of the Christ Child into the world. It also anticipates the greatest "advent" of them all -- the long-awaited "Second Coming" of our Lord in power and glory!
In Love Came Down: Anglican Readings for Advent and Christmas, popular author and Episcopal priest Christopher L. Webber provides devotional readings for each day of Advent-tide and Christmastide. These readings are drawn from a wide variety of sources, such as poets (Christina Rossetti and John Donne), preachers (Hugh Latimer and William Law), and theologians (Jeremy Taylor and John Keble), all from the Anglican/Episcopal tradition. Fr. Webber also includes a brief biography of each author whose writings he features in this little devotional "gem." I highly recommend Love Came Down to Christians of all denominations, who will find in this book a "treasure trove" of spirituality for many years to come!
