Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-30 00:00:00 Karen A Barton A solid Advent book of Nativity reflections. I enjoyed it well enough, but will pass it on for someone else to read next year.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-09 00:00:00 Neal Johnson Since I am not very good at regimenting myself to a scheduled devotional, I may not be the best judge of this book's quality. It was good, but not as good as I expected. Miller has been around for a long time, considered one of the church's artistic writers. I did not see much of it. He came across more like a preacher than a poet. That is not to say that the book was devoid of good stuff. He had some good observations and some interesting insights into the nativity. In all, I liked the book and it held me throughout the season. I'm not sure, though, that I would go out of my way to recommend it to a person or a group. If someone asks me, I would give it to them and endorse it, but only because it is good in theology and not too pedantic, not because I think it's better than others that may be out there. Read Miller for his truth more than his profundity or innovation. Read him because he's right, not because he's gifted.
