Keeping Christ in Christmas by Louis Cassels
Louis Cassels argues the incarnation is the core of Christmas not sentiment or symbols. He explains Jesus as fully human and divine, quotes John 1 and Paul, and cites Dr. Baillie on the paradox of grace guiding understanding of God in Christ. He suggests contemplating this mystery amid holiday routines.
