"Have you noticed that Christmas isn't exactly the joyful season that it use to be? It's hectic, rushed, expensive, exhausting, and anything but peaceful…Most of our Christmas celebrations are anything but silent…With each passing year, I seem to be having more and more conversations with other women as to how quickly the Christmas season passes, how rushed we feel and how we know we aren't truly celebrating it in a way that remembers Jesus.” (an excerpt from the Introduction to A Way in a Manger)
A Way in a Manger is a 32-day Christmas devotional that gently helps women to re-discover the joy and wonder of the Christmas season in the midst of all the to-do's and chaos. Using the names of Jesus found in Isaiah 9:6, the author helps women to unwrap the wonder and grace of this Scripture and how it impacts not only the meaning of Christmas but the meaning of daily life as well. Each day includes a Passage to Ponder that will be the focal Scripture of the day, an encouraging devotional message to bring the Person of Jesus to life in perhaps a new way, and concludes with a Ponder This application to help the reader apply the day's devotional message to their lives whether that's during the Christmas season or beyond.
