A 30-Day Anthology of Classic Christmas Writings
For centuries, Christians have treasured the same classic hymns and passages at Christmas. While these works have stood the test of time, believers can be tempted to adopt them as commonplace and fail to consider their deeper meaning.
Journey to Bethlehem presents an insightful selection of Christmas classics from the greatest English and American poets to important historical church figures such as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Spurgeon. Ideal for reading during the month of December, yet applicable for use year-round, each of the 30 readings consists of a classic work, literary analysis, takeaway summary, and Bible passage.
Literary expert Leland Ryken analyzes hymns, poems, and prose, highlighting how each passage is edifying and stylistically satisfying. Readers will experience a new fondness for these classic works as they meditate on the mystery of Christ's incarnation.
To truly love someone, you have to know him. And to truly love God, we must know him too-not just that he exists, but who he is and what he is like.
This exploration of God's unchanging character, as revealed in thirteen stories from the Bible, offers you this opportunity-to get to know him better and love him more. Each chapter focuses on a different attribute of God, how it influences your understanding of him, and how you can apply it to your daily life.
This fresh look at God's character will help you discover, or rediscover, the God who is infinite and holy, all-knowing and all-powerful-the God who is truth and love. And as you draw nearer to him, you'll find that there is no endeavor more rewarding than this one.
