Product Description
Have you ever found yourself reclining in your favorite armchair, a cup of coffee poised on your lap, staring at the Christmas tree in the corner and kind of wondering...
It's a tree; what is it doing in the living room?...
It is that meeting place of the sacred and the secular that makes the Christmas tree such a durable and endearing feature of our holiday homes. It is a place where even the least religious feel compelled to stick an angel on the apex, include a Nativity underneath, or simply place a star near the top.
Thus we give voice to the yearnings of all hungry hearts to undertake such a journey, as wise people still do today, following the star, making our way to public worship, singing carols, or at least pausing in some fashion to acknowledge the newborn King. -- Derek Maul
This funny, articulate, and illustrative book provides a way to embrace the gift of Advent, reminding us of the core message. We wait for the Messiah. From sweet tales of childhood to more difficult and heart-wrenching realities, Derek Maul offers us the realistic hope of the season.

God's incredible gift to the world awaits. Come and see."
