Infant Holy Infant Lowly: Advent Family Worship with the Carols of Christmas

Book Description

Infant Holy Infant Lowly is a book of daily family devotions based on Christmas carols to be read aloud in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Each devotion features one of the best-loved, most enduring carols from centuries past, including one new carol written by the author. The readings examine the biblical sources of the carols, the poets who wrote them, the composers who wrote the music, and what the carol teaches us about Christ's incarnation and the gospel. Each devotion ends with discussion questions, readings from the biblical sources of the carol, and guidance in singing the carol together as a family.
