Kay Murdy uses both lectionaries (daily and Sunday) as the basis for daily reflections that take you from the first day of Advent through the 12 days of Christmas to the Epiphany. Try it. You will have the best Christmas ever!From the First Sunday of Advent to the Baptism of the Lord, the scripture readings tell the story of God's Son coming to us as a human being. This book helps you make the connection between those readings and your life. Uniting the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany into a meaningful whole, Kay Murdy provides daily scripture readings, historical notes, spiritual commentaries, reflection questions, and prayers. Your deepened faith in the mystery of the incarnation will manifest itself in your personal prayer, communal worship, and service to others.Kay Murdy is a natural teacher, a crystal-clear writer, and a prayerful person. All three of these gifts come together beautifully in Season of Emmanuel. The result is an ideal resource -- indeed, a treasure.Mark Link, S.J.
