Review by Library Journal Review

Themes of watchfulness, promise, preparation, fulfillment, and celebration shape these daily meditations for the four weeks of Advent and 13 days of Christmastide. The headings' imperative mood (``Pay Attention''; ``Practice Patience'') implicitly exhort and occasionally admonish, and the down-to-earth commentaries on the texts are interspersed with inspirational lessons from ordinary life. A solid mainline offering. (Note a related September title also from Westminster, J. Barrie Shepherd's A Pilgrim's Way: Meditations for Lent and Easter .) (c) Copyright 2010.
