by Mark-David Janus (Author)
This book of Advent reflections treats the nitty-gritty of trying to live authentically in a world that is ordered to contradict the message of God-with-us, of God's hands-on love and involvement in our lives. Each pithy reflection reminds us why humanity needed and still needs Christmas. One unique aspect of the book is that the reflections do not end on Christmas Day. Reflections for each of the Twelve Days of Christmas allow readers to soak in the meaning, comfort, and joy of Christmas.
Endorsements
"A gifted preacher and sought-after spiritual mentor, Fr. Mark-David Janus, CSP, offers insightful, stirring, and at times intimate reflections that challenge us to enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ's incarnation."
--David Dwyer, CSP, host of The Busted Halo Show on SiriusXM
"Father Janus's book is a superb resource for busy people. The meditations are short, poetic, and filled with human wisdom and spiritual insight. An essential companion to the Advent and Christmas seasons!"
--Ronald D. Witherup, PSS, author of numerous books on Scripture and theology, including Ashes to Flames: A Lenten Pilgrimage (Paulist Press, 2025).
"What a gift! Fr. Janus's meditations encourage us to find a quiet room in the 'noisy inn of our lives' to reflect on God's love and be 'angels' (messengers) who bring God's comfort and joy to all."
--David B. Gowler, Pierce Chair of Religion, Oxford College of Emory University
Mark-David Janus, CSP, PhD, is president and publisher of Paulist Press.
