Description
The Living Nativity explores how nativity sets, Advent wreaths, candles, carols, Christmas cards, and other traditions help prepare our hearts for the God "who bends low to enter our world and our lives."
This book introduces readers to the joyous reenactment of the birth of Jesus, complete with a manger and animals, as well as prayer poems for each day of the season. A guided pattern is provided for individuals and small groups to share reflections and experience activities that open their hearts to the Christ child.
For those seeking to deepen their spiritual journey during the Advent season, The Living Nativity offers a practical guide with suggestions for worship, discussion questions, and guidance for a mini-retreat on a theme of the week.
