Reviews
"Advent is a season rich with images, characters, and themes that can disappear all too easily in the commercial feeding frenzy that is the "pre-Christmas rush." Gregory Cameron's book tries to address this. Advent Book of Days comprises 25 short chapters to examine a person or an image that appears in the Christmas story as we have received it. Cameron lays out the scriptural and/or anecdotal material that we have today, and leads us on to a reflection on what that might teach us now. Refreshingly, the author wants the material that we have inherited to teach us something about how to conduct our lives in the present. Cameron is a keen artist and iconographer, which probably explains why each chapter begins with a (very well reproduced) painting or image, which serves as a visual aid for the reflection that follows. A short prayer concludes each section. Cameron has produced a very fine manual, and a good way of carving out a short daily space for reflection in the one part of the year when this is the hardest thing to do. I should say, too, that, although also available as an ebook, the printed edition is of a quality that eludes many publishers these days, and makes repeated use more inviting. Highly recommended." -- The Revd Peter McGeary, Church Times, "Gregory Kenneth Cameron's An Advent Book of Days offers a series of 25 brief devotional sketches that highlight the "Characters of Christmas." Following a traditional Advent calendar format (December 1-24) plus an additional devotional for Christmas day, Cameron briefly but captivatingly tells the stories of the most significant characters of the Christmas story. Although most of the characters highlighted are humans - either historical or legendary (e.g., the little drummer boy) - a few non-human characters are also included in the mix (including the star, Bethlehem, and the ox and ass). These devotional vignettes, by examining specific characters and the role each one plays, draw us deeper into the story of Christmas and deeper into the life of Jesus." -- Englewood Review

" It is my hope that these reflections, whenever they are read, will help us to discover new depths in the Christmas story, to deepen our faith, and perhaps even to learn something new or unexpected; because over two thousand years, the story of Christmas has become filled with unexpected delights arising from Scripture, history, legend and faith ." -- Gregory Kenneth Cameron, A Book of Days to nurture and inspire your soul this Advent An Advent Book of Days tells the stories of all the characters and creatures that make up the Christmas story, with daily prayers and reflections based on their experiences. Fully illustrated in color, this rich seasonal companion combines the bible, history, art and legend to explore the story of the incarnation. For each day of Advent, we meet a character caught up in the drama of the nativity, from the archangel Gabriel to the ox and ass in the stable. We discover what their portrayal in scripture reveals about them, how they have been understood in history, what folk legends have accrued around them, and what their stories offer for faith and devotion today. This is a book to engage all the senses and the imagination, to be enjoyed slowly and to shed new light on the most famous and familiar story of all. Step into the tradition of visio divina inspired by the medieval tradition of the illuminated book of hours, and celebrate the many aspects and persons of the Christmas story through the centuries.
