Overview
In the expectancy that hung over the world ahead of the very first Christmas, as newlyweds awaited the birth of their child and magi charted the stars, the first recorded Christmas songs rang out. Perhaps not as familiar as the carols on our holiday playlists, these melodies have woven their way into the very fabric of our Christmas traditions all the same.
This book invites us to experience these four biblical songs anew. Moving from the words of scripture to contemplative readings, and including thematic reflection sections and responsive prompts for each chapter, we explore how the wonder and beauty of the season enrich our daily lives. Let the songs of Christmas lead us ever deeper into the awe-inspiring mystery of Emmanuel, God with us.
Chapters include:
- The Song of Mary, with reflections on hope, partnership with God, and generational legacy
- The Song of Zechariah, with reflections on silence, doubt, and transformation
- The Song of the Angels, with reflections on peace, expectation, and worship
- The Song of Simeon, with reflections on patience, contentment, and gratitude
