Behold, He Comes: Meditations on the Incarnation [Paperback]

C.F.R. Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2001

The coming of Jesus Christ, the Word of God made Flesh, is the central truth of the Christian faith. Everything in the Christian life depends upon and revolves around the reality of the Incarnation. Here Fr. Benendict Groeschel, one of the American church's most respected spiritual teachers, helps us grasp this truth with fresh insights. Against the backdrop of Scripture and the writings of the ancient Fathers of the Church, for each day of the Advent and Christmas seasons, Father Groeschel offers thought-provoking reflections on Christ's coming - in history, in our personal lives, and at the end of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Broad and Practical Book of Spiritual Reflection, December 26, 2001

By 

Fr Francis Martin (Gaithersburg, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Behold, He Comes: Meditations on the Incarnation (Paperback)

Father Benedict Groeschel has once again put us in his debt with a fine book of meditations designed principally for use during Advent and the Christmas season but actually helpful for anytime as we await the coming of the Lord. The most salient feature of this book is its capacity to relate the reader to the very practical aspects of the Christian life by the use of examples and words from people who have experienced and articulated many sides of life. This is the kind of book you can carry with you and read frequently and profitably.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daily Meditations From Advent to Epiphany, December 11, 2002

This review is from: Behold, He Comes: Meditations on the Incarnation (Paperback)

This small book has profound implications for the life of the Christian seeker.

The book is divided into two sections:
- daily meditations from Advent to Epiphany
- Hymns, Prayers, and Spiritual Readings

While the book is written by a Catholic, it is equally valuable for Christians of all denominations. The reflections are pertinent to the daily life of the follower of Christ. It is an important and meaningful resource for following in the steps of John the Baptist to the stable in Bethlehem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Benedict Groeschel is writing for all Christians, December 30, 2006

This review is from: Behold, He Comes: Meditations on the Incarnation (Paperback)

This is my first work by Benedict Groeschel that I've read. I am already ordering others. His style should appeal to all Christians regardless of affiliation. He is very down to earth in his writings and teachings. I find him very approachable and can apply his thoughts to my every day life. He never appears to be too intellectual. Excellent work for Advent devotions. Highly recommended.
