One of Paulist Press's long-standing, best-selling seasonal items, Living the days of advent and the Christmas Season 2006 presents each day of the season(s) with a trenchant reflection on readings from the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, the lives of the Saints (whose feast days are highlighted in the text), and inspirational meditations. The perforated pages are perfect for removing "a-page-a-day" and posting on one's mirror, refrigerator, or bureau of drawers for frequent viewing. The artwork by Julie Lonneman provides a visual level to this treasury of Advent and Christmas prayers and meditations.

Bobby Gross presents chapters on each season of the liturgical year, accompanied by weekly devotions based on the Sunday readings of the lectionary cycle. His book offers a flexible weekly format, designed to let you break the devotions down any way you want to.

A popular "page-a-day" calendar for spiritual reflections and meditations during Advent and Christmastide.

This collection of daily reflections--a perennial favorite of Paulist Press readers--is an ideal way to prepare for Advent. Instead of being a month of increasing stress, with the help of this book Advent can be a quiet season reflection on the miracle that God has come to us, will come, and is already with us now. For each day the author includes a selection from scripture or the divine office, a brief meditation, and a prayer. Together they help the hassles and trivialities of the season fall away to reveal the real and unchanging meaning beneath.
