It's hard to imagine Advent or Christmas without music, and that goes beyond popularcarols and handbells. Author Max Vincent invites readers to discover the music in thebiblical story of Christmas. Four canticles ('little songs') precede, announce, andcelebrate the birth of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. These canticles invite readers topause and consider the deeper meaning of the events surrounding his birth. In Good News of Great Joy, 24 daily readings explore the context, content, andspirituality of these canticles. Each of the four canticles has six daily readings. Thedaily readings include practices and questions to encourage further reflection on theselittle songs. In addition, the book provides a Leader's Guide for group study. Luke's canticles were some of the earliest songs of the church and are still prayed dailyin some Christian traditions. Vincent encourages readers to pause and notice God'scomforting presence as they reflect on these joyous songs of Advent.
