Make Christmas special this year by exploring the legends, message,
and theology behind some of your favorite carols and hymns. This
book of daily devotions will take you from December 1 to January 6,
from the first days of Advent, through Christmas, ending at
Epiphany. Each day, Gordon Giles invites you to draw closer to God
through spiritual and historical explorations of beloved, familiar
music.
As you read and reflect, you will be asked to consider the meaning
of some of the famous Christmas carols that we sometimes sing
without a passing thought. You will be introduced to obscure saints
as well as living poets and musicians of faith, and you will hear
the timeless truths of love and forgiveness, pain and loss,
darkness and light.
"If, like me, you have always been confused by the imagery of 'The
Twelve Days of Christmas, ' you will find this book both compelling
and illuminating. Gordon Giles has selected a kaleidoscopic mixture
of musical settings of scripture, hymns and carols, from Gibbons to
Taize, Plainchant to Kendrick, via Bach, Berlioz, Vaughan Williams,
Menotti and many others. He writes with engaging insight and
perception, providing us with material for reflection, prayer and
meditation."
--John Scott, Organist and Director of Music, St. Thomas Church
