The Gospel of Christmas: Reflections for Advent
"Patty Kirk's love of words and language burst forth in this thoughtful, original and intimate look at the Christmas narrative, inviting the reader to embrace the ordinary and delight in the mystery of the Christmas season." (Nathan Foster, author of Wisdom Chaser)"Patty Kirk can write. That she writes about Advent is a gift to the rest of us who, annually, feel vaguely oppressed, chronically anxious and emotionally exhausted by the trappings of December. In her words you will discover a blessedly new kind of Advent." (Margot Starbuck, author of Small Things with Great Love)"What a beautiful book! Like Christmas itself,The Gospel of Christmasis filled with wonder and delight as well as with longing and sorrow. Patty Kirk charms readers with her masterful story-weaving and her dazzling application. This book is a life-changer. A must-read for Advent and for Christmas or any old time." (Caryn Dahlstrand Rivadeneira, author of Broke and Grumble Hallelujah and cofounder of Redbud Writers Guild)
