Spiritual Steps to Christmas: Daily Meditations for Sanctifying Advent
Published by TAN Books
Overview
Prepare your heart for the coming of Christ by walking through Advent with prayer, reflection, and joyful anticipation. Spiritual Steps to Christmas: Daily Meditations for Sanctifying Advent invites you to accompany the Blessed Virgin Mary as she awaited the birth of Our Lord, helping you enter more deeply into the sacred mystery of the Incarnation.
Just as Lent prepares the soul for Easter, Advent prepares the Christian for Christmas. These daily meditations encourage readers to welcome Christ not merely into their homes, but into their hearts through thoughtful prayer, spiritual renewal, and loving preparation.

Great Advent Resource!
This is a great reflection book for Advent. Being written in the 1950;s, the lessons and substance of the reflections are still very relevant to today. Wish there was a Lenten companion!
