A 30-Day Anthology of Classic Christmas Writings
For centuries, Christians have treasured the same classic hymns and
passages at Christmas. While these works have stood the test of time,
believers can be tempted to adopt them as commonplace and fail to
consider their deeper meaning.
Journey to Bethlehem presents an insightful selection of Christmas
classics from the greatest English and American poets to important
historical church figures such as Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and
Spurgeon. Ideal for reading during the month of December, yet applicable
for use year-round, each of the 30 readings consists of a classic work,
literary analysis, takeaway summary, and Bible passage.
Literary expert Leland Ryken analyzes each hymn, poem, and prose to
approach these classic works in a fresh way. By highlighting how each
passage is edifying and stylistically satisfying, readers will
experience a new fondness for these classic works as they meditate on
the mystery of Christ's incarnation.
