In a season characterized by its commercialism rather than its communion with God, the poetry of Barbara Tanner impels us to refocus our hearts and minds by offering heartfelt and dynamic glimpses at the Savior through the eyes of those who knew him best: His father, his mother, his disciples, and even his antagonists. We are invited into their shoes, and Tanner's thought-provoking perspectives make us wish we could stay in them.
While the collection is comparatively brief at only eleven poems, the book recommends specific passages of scriptures to be read as prologue to each poem--a reading assignment, as it were--and the book itself provides the relevant passages in the appendix to minimize the excuses some readers might find for not looking them up. The passages come directly from the King James Version but do away with the verse numbers and present the text in a much more reader-friendly format that breathes new life into them.
The book is a must-have for any Christian who needs help refocusing on what's most important during the hectic holiday season, and making sure that we keep Christ not only in Christmas, but also in our hearts and minds.
