God Is in the Manger

Reflections on Advent and Christmas

De: Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Narrado por: Arthur Morey

There are only two places where the powerful and great in this world lose their courage, tremble in the depths of their souls, and become truly afraid. These are the manger and the cross of Jesus Christ.

No priest, no theologian stood at the cradle of Bethlehem. And yet, all Christian theology finds its beginnings in the miracle of miracles, that God became human.

These stirring words are among forty devotions that guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Advent and Christmas, from waiting and mystery to redemption, incarnation, and joy. Supplemented by an informative introduction, short excerpts from Bonhoeffer's letters, and passages from his Christmas sermons, these daily devotions are timeless and moving reminders of the true gift of Christmas.

Well done

Great insights and reminders of the truth that Jesus was God in the flesh who came to save us from sin.

A wondrous devotional

Bonhoeffer’s writings about our Lord’s advent are thought-provoking, inspiring, challenging. Listening to this each year makes the incarnation of Christ real to me.

a must

I own this both in text and audio. it is a book I come back to every Advent

meaningful devotion

learn the true meaning of advent, waiting for God's plan to unfold.
Bonhoeffer is a master!

wonderful as always

I love Bonhoeffer's writings and read this every year for advent. it brings such special perspective to the celebration.

Beautiful, deeply enriching

With the profundity that Dietrich Bonhoeffer brings, these reflections on advent, Christmas, and Ephiphany offer much to ponder. Most of it was written from prison before his execution, a man well acquainted with suffering for Christ. Far from a “holly, jolly Christmas,” he reflects on what really matters and what Christmas really means.

OH...TO RELISH!!!

This was breath-takingly amazing. Refreshing to the heart & stirs the soul for HIS Advent.

Easy to understand

As I listened I was learning and thank you for the clear teachings. I will listen again.
