Book Reviews of The Blessing of Christmas: Meditations for the Season
Book Review: Very deep but very easy
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is a red hardcover, printed in quality paper, which also has beautiful illustrations coming from churches all over Europe.
These meditations were written by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger 25 years ago, and yet still popular and actual. It's a wonderful reading to do during Advent.
It's important to say that the font this book is printed in is pretty big, so it's easier on an old person's eyes. Furthermore, despite its being deep, logic and insightful, the language is very simple. Even a kid preparing for receiving his/her First Communion can understand these words.
Finally, there are some meditations about the meaning of illness and sufferance that deserve being read.

Taken from his sermons as well as his writings, these beautiful meditations by the acclaimed spiritual teacher, writer and now Pontiff, give his usual fresh insights into the deeper meaning of this most wondrous event, and show the Pope to be a man who knows how to address both the mind and the heart.
