Christ, the Light of the World

This book is out of print and cannot be found even through Kincaid's own store. It is a great way to slow down the hustle and bustle of the season, and even embrace it if you cannot slow it down. He explains how Christmas traditions become important to our family. We have made reading this little devotional part of our yearly tradition.

In the midst of preparing for Christmas, this devotional gives you the focus to prepare your heart for the season. You will truly look at Christmas differently, savouring each aspect of Christmas - even the hectic parts! From getting the decorations out, listening to Christmas Carols, Christmas shopping - every part of Christmas is explored. When Christmas Day comes you will find your heart has "prepared Him room". There are then devotionals leading up to New Year's Day. Ever get that "Christmas Blues" feeling Boxing Day? Well, Thomas Kinkade shows us how to appreciate the afterglow of Christmas. There's also a look forward on New Year's Day to the Year ahead. If you are looking for a Christmas where you aren't completely caught up with the commercialism, then take the the time to read this book. You won't regret it. Added to each devotion for the day is a painting by the Painter of Light himself. (Tip: Day 1 is 28th November - I got caught out with that the first time I read it. If you start on 1st December; Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Year's Day don't match up!) Highly recommended!

This is a great devotional for the advent season (devotional a day). Makes a good gift. If you give as a gift or buy it for yourself, you need to give or get prior to advent season. This way you will be able to enjoy the devotionals throughout the whole advent season. I highly recommend this book!!
