In Advent Joy the Christmas pilgrim focuses on the wonder of the Nativity and the mystery of the Incarnation by pausing each day in Advent to consider a stage of our Salvation History. And what most commonly arises from this contemplation is expressed in questioning prayer to the Heavenly Father concerning the history of the world and our place within it. This is an Advent book that marvels in the splendours of the Creator's work, natural and supernatural, known and unknown.
