Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas (Plough Daily Devotionals)

Though Christians the world over make yearly preparations for Lent, thereâ€™s a conspicuous lack of good books for that other great spiritual season: Advent. All the same, this four-week period leading up to Christmas is making a comeback as growing numbers reject shopping-mall frenzy and examine the deeper meaning of the season.

Ecumenical in scope, these fifty devotions invite the reader to contemplate the great themes of Christmas and the significance that the coming of Jesus has for each of us â€“ not only during Advent, but every day. Whether dipped into at leisure or used on a daily basis, Watch for the Light gives the phrase â€œholiday preparationsâ€ new depth and meaning.
