Spiritual Readings

CHRISTMAS BOOK REVIEW
Sorta:

Goodness and Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas, edited by Michael Leach, James Keane, and Doris Goodnough
Watch for the Light: Readings for Advent and Christmas, no editors listed
These are two books of spiritual readings that begin on November 21 and November 24, respectively, and end January 7, covering Advent and then Christmastide. There are some fiction entries, but most of them are written by religious writers or lay people who also write inspirational or spiritual material, like Madeleine L'Engle and Kathleen Norris.
I truly meant to read one entry from each book each day, but as always Christmas prep caught up with me, and sometimes I had to read three or four entries at a time to catch up. Like most writings, some of these are memorable, some aren't, but I'm glad I put the effort in.
