Henri J. M. Nouwen is one of the most beloved and well-read spiritual author of our time.  His works are popular among Christians of all denomination.  This book of Advent and Christmas Wisdom will both challenge you and warm your heart during your annual preparation for the Lord's coming.  Through the quotes, Nouwen shares with the reader his own journey of waiting while seeking the Lord.

Advent is that period of great anticipatory joy to prepare for the celebration of Christ's arrival in Bethlehem as a helpless infant.  The date commemorating his birth begins the Christmas cycle of the liturgical year, a cycle that runs through the Sunday after the feast of the Epiphany.  This book is designed to be used during the entire period from the First Sunday of Advent to the end of the Christmas season.

Reflections for each day in this book begin with the words of Henri Nouwen taken from various sources of his writings.  Following that quotation is an excerpt from Scripture related to the quote.  Next is a small prayer based on the quote and the Scripture passage. Finally, an activity is suggested for applying the messages to one's daily life.
