O Come, Let Us Adore Him: 25 Christmas Hymn Devotions for Women with the Stories Behind Carols, Scripture and Prayer

Sing your way to the manger. Some of the truest things we know about Christmas we first learned by singing them. O Come, Let Us Adore Him takes twenty-five beloved carols - one for each day from December 1 to Christmas morning - and turns them into a daily time of worship. You will meet the people who wrote them: a priest who spent his life rescuing ancient hymns, a pastor who came home from Bethlehem and wrote a carol for his Sunday school, a father who wrote "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" in the darkest year of his life. And you will look again at the old words you have sung since childhood: let every heart prepare Him room, the hopes and fears of all the years, what can I give Him? give Him my heart. Every day gives you: ◆ Verses from a beloved Christmas hymn or carol ◆ The story behind the song and the people who wrote it ◆ A devotion that connects the hymn to your own December ◆ A verse from the King James Bible and a heartfelt prayer ◆ A gentle invitation to sing it, hum it or play it that day ◆ Room to write and hand-drawn illustrations throughout From O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and Silent Night to Go, Tell It on the Mountain and In the Bleak Midwinter - all from hymns in the public domain. Roomy 6 x 9 inch pages, clear and comfortable type, space to write. A treasured Advent companion for your quiet time, a women's group or a choir friend - and a lovely Christmas gift.
