A Winter Name for God: Reflections for the Christmas Season

Regardless of where we live, or what season it may be, we all experience the long darkness of winter in our lives. During our winters we wait for the coming of spring, for better times, for our prayers to be answered. And during Advent we wait, for the coming of the Christ child and the new hope and new life that he brings. A Winter Name for God sheds light on the darkness of winter, offering thirty-one devotions filled with warmth and hope to open our hearts to the miracle of Christmas. Annotated with stories, experiences, and observations from ordinary events of life, these daily devotions and prayers help us to see profound spiritual insights about faith, such as the ordinary birth of a child that so utterly changed the world. Although in Advent our joys and sorrows are felt most keenly, the divine presence endures through all seasons. A Winter Name for God celebrates that enduring presence of God's love revealed to the world through Jesus Christ.
