Description
Every Advent Christians struggle to eliminate the busyness of the season and find time to prepare themselves for the coming of Emmanuel. This year, author Hilary McDowell offers readers hope and a pathway to Bethlehem to experience the incarnation in a dramatic, fresh, and life-changing way. On the Way to Bethlehem takes Christians on a spiritual journey that engages both heart and mind and lands them gently at their final destination, at home in the presence of Christ. Through richly creative, thoughtful meditations, McDowell invites readers to travel imaginatively to Bethlehem -- to thrust off unnecessary emotional luggage, to smell the hay in the stable, and to interact with the wise men. She brings the Advent journey to life as travelers continue forward each day with a better understanding of Christ in their lives. Six weeks of meditations are included, one for each day of the Advent season, that offer this framework for devotional time: scripture, meditation, and prayer.
