What People are Saying About This
"Twenty-eight carols. The most profound and beautiful ever composed. The melodies flow from your heart and the words touch your soul. To sing them is to love them. Now read this book, carol by carol. Learn how each one came to be. Find out who wrote them and under what circumstances. Meditate on them with the help of authors Mulder and Roberts. This book is a gift, one that makes the gift of these carols even more precious."
—Craig Dykstra, Former Senior Vice President, Religion, Lilly Endowment, Inc.
"I cannot imagine a better Christmas devotional resource than this little book. John Mulder and Morgan Roberts have deepened our appreciation for these beautiful Christmas carols by revealing their origins and reflecting on what they mean for our faith. Because of their insights, we will sing at Christmas with even more wonder and joy."
—Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of Preaching, Emeritus, Candler School of Theology
"Insight and inspiration—the authors' aim for this engaging collection—is magnificently realized in the texts, tunes, background, and reflection for the seasons of Advent and Christmas. The writing is at once pastoral, personal, practical, and, yes, profound. Whether reflecting on the simplest text or the doctrine of the incarnation, Mulder and Roberts uncover insights that feed mind and soul. This is a go-to volume that you will value for a lifetime."
—Morgan Simmons, Retired Church Musician and Hymnologist
