The 40 short, pithy meditationsin this collection witness to the fact that the birth of Jesus is more than history for those who feel their need of him. Christmas is the seasonof joy for good reason: it is the news of a savior being born, of light breaking into darkness, of God's peace and goodwill to all. But joy is more than merriment. For those who only want to have a good time or a feeling of togetherness, Christmas brings a temporary feeling of cheer. But for those who feel bankrupt, without real meaning or hope - either for themselves or for the world - Christmas can be genuinely life-changing. | When the Time Was Fulfilled by Eberhard Arnold, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
