Christmas: The Season of Life and Light by Emily Hunter McGowin
5.0
This is the second in the fullness of time books I have been able to read, the other being advent. I am really enjoying this series and I plan to buy them all when available.
This book focuses on the season of Christmastide the time between the 24th of Dec and the 6th of Jan. I enjoyed the history of this time of year I on the church and how it has been celebrated by the liturgical church over time. I do not attend a liturgical church myself but I have been finding myself more and more interested in this style of worship in the last few years and hope that I can add some of the ideas in this book to my own Christmas plans, as well as suggest ideas to my church for this time of year. The writing is beautiful and the author’s inclusion or personal stories really adds to the book.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.
