Dear Friends:
Suzanne and I are donating to Slant Books several copies of a rare, out-of-print, hardcover edition of God With Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Advent and Christmas.
The only edition of this book that is available new is a “Reader’s Edition” that is text-only; what we are offering is the original hardcover book with four-color illustrations throughout and a red ribbon to mark your place.
We can guarantee you that this book is unlikely to ever be reprinted in this format.
This book would easily cost $75 or more dollars today. Our supply is limited.
You can have a copy for a donation to Slant Books of $100. Go to our Donate page, make your donation, and email us with your address to info@slantbooks.org. Support indie lit and get yourself a magnificent book in the bargain.
Below I will paste in the full book description for God With Us.
“This is our third year using this book as a family devotional guide to Advent. I have to say that each year I have looked more and more forward to going through this book again.” — 5-star Amazon review
Be prepared to think, ponder and allow God to open your heart anew to the gift of his Son, as you prayerfully go through this Advent devotional and Scripture readings.
The Christmas season is difficult to grasp and understand in all its spiritual richness. The sentimentality and commercialism that dominate the season tend to obscure the profound mystery at its heart: the Incarnation. God With Us provides the perfect way to slow down and reconnect with the liturgical and sacramental traditions that illuminate the meaning of the Incarnation and bring it down to earth.
Featuring daily meditations for the complete seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, contributors Scott Cairns, Emilie Griffin, Richard John Neuhaus, Kathleen Norris, Eugene Peterson, and Luci Shaw offer a tapestry of reflection, Scripture, prayer and history. These profound words are enhanced by classic and contemporary art masterpieces carefully selected by the editors. God With Us will make anyone’s journey to the stable in Bethlehem and the child in the manger utterly unforgettable.
“The birth of Jesus, kept fresh in our imaginations and prayers in song and story, keeps our feet on solid ground and responsive to every nuance of obedience and praise evoked by the life all around us.” –Eugene Peterson, from the Introduction
