Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I first aquired this as an audiobook last year (free from Christan Audio). This year I got a physical copy because my church small group was reading this through in Advent. This is a nice selection of Bonhoeffer readings. Generally I perfer reading actually works instead of selections, but this is well selected and paired with other authors I appreciate. When I was growing up, Advent was something non-Baptist churches did and I equated it with Lent. I'm glad that Advent has become more widespread and that even Baptist churches are putting out their own Advent devotions. This book is a popular Advent devotional, and it should be; it's a fascinating and thought-provoking read. I listened to this book on my commutes as I considered it akin to the sermons I often listen to on the drive. It was available online through my local library, provided by ChristianAudio.com. There are 40 daily devotionals in this book with a theme for each week. It goes from November until January 6 (the Epiphany, which supposedly used to be a bigger holiday than December 25). Each devotional has a scripture, an excerpt from a Bonhoeffer sermon or writing, and a supplemental like a letter from prison by Bonhoeffer or comment from another theologian/pastor/author. It is very thorough and deep. I highly recommend it, next year I may use this as my own daily devotional during the season. 4 stars out of 5. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"There are only two places where the powerful and great in this world lose their courage, tremble in the depths of their souls, and become truly afraid. These are the manger and the cross of Jesus Christ." "No priest, no theologian stood at the cradle of Bethlehem. And yet, all Christian theology finds its beginnings in the miracle of miracles, that God became human." These stirring words are among forty devotions that guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Advent and Christmas, from waiting and mystery to redemption, incarnation, and joy. Supplemented by an informative introduction, short excerpts from Bonhoeffer's letters, and passages from his Christmas sermons, these daily devotions are timeless and moving reminders of the true gift of Christmas.
