Download or read book Keeping Christmas written by James A. Hopwood and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year--or at least we want it to be. Too often our celebration of Jesus' birthday is overwhelmed by bright lights and tinsel, overspending and overeating, plus constant chatter about a "war on Christmas." Can't we do better than this? There are two Christmases. One is sacred. One is secular. The two have clashed in one "culture war" or another for 1,700 years. Christmas is not (as some falsely claim) a pagan holiday, but pagan-influenced traditions are part of the seasonal clutter. Keeping Christmas is about helping you find joy in a season of excess and strife. Part survival guide, part history, part cultural commentary, and all laced with spiritual reflection, this book is about how you can celebrate in ways that are most meaningful to you and your family. It's not easy to thread your way through the Christmas maze. But if Ebenezer Scrooge could learn to keep Christmas well, so can you. Maybe it's time to reinvent Christmas. Maybe we can get it right this time.

Download or read book Find Peace in Advent written by Gary Zimak and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it really possible to find peace during one of the busiest and stress-filled times of the year? Catholic author and self-described "recovering worrier" Gary Zimak offers a practical, scripture-based approach to Advent so we can make room for Jesus in our chaotic, busy, and fast-paced lives. While most Catholics have an awareness of Lenten practices, we often don't know what to do during Advent--even if we know both seasons are times of preparation. On top of this, the holiday season arrives with its own busy rhythms with family and friends. Many of us know that Advent is supposed to be a special season, but we are so pre-occupied with getting ready for the holidays that we fail to benefit from it. Find Peace in Advent! will enable you to deepen your relationship with Jesus and find peace during one of the most stressful times of the year. This book, which uses a similar approach to the bestselling Give Up Worry for Lent!, requires only a few minutes of reading each day and helps you grow closer to Jesus and experience the peace that only he can give. The daily readings and reflections are easy to digest and connect to the daily Mass readings and the rhythm of the Advent season. With each entry, Zimak guides you to ponder foundational truths of faith and apply them to your own life with four simple steps: Read Reflect Respond Pray As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to let go of your stress and worries and instead take small steps to deepen your relationship with God and make him the center of your life. There is no better time to seek interior peace than Advent, which is a time to prepare to celebrate the many ways Jesus reaches into our lives. This four-week process is more than a survival guide to a busy season--it is a journey by which we learn to walk with Jesus, the one who guides our feet onto the path of peace.
