Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas by Annie Dillard, Thomas Merton, Dietrich Bonhoeffer

3.0

This book of advent and Christmas readings runs from November 24 through January 7. I'm giving it 3 stars because as I would anticipate with virtually any collection of pieces from a bunch of different writers, the readings were a bit hit and miss with me (though no major misses). Some I absolutely loved, others I found to be just okay. I was happy I read it nonetheless- it gave lots of food for thought throughout the Christmas season and kept my mind coming back to the weight of Jesus' entrance into our world and all of the meaning and impact and upheaval that represented. I will probably return to the book in future years though I may skip some pieces during re-reads.
