5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book of Christmas poems, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

Weems approaches Christmas from a realistic and down to earth point of view, yet the poems touch your spirit also. This is a lovely, yet little-known book that I give to absolutely everyone for a Christmas gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kneeling in Bethlehem, February 4, 2000

By	Dr. Samuel Gordon (Akron, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This extraordinary collection of poems touches me deeply. I keep it near me every day. As I enter the Advent season each year, Ms. Weems' wonderful "In search of our kneeling places" helps me keep room in my inn. I absolutely love the book. Thank you, thank you Ann Weems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worship resourse, May 22, 2006

By	Teresa Gonzales "Rock Art Creations" (Tempe, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kneeling in Bethlehem (Audiotape) (Audio Cassette)

I am a minister and have used this book for church service readings during Christmas. It's a terrific resource (try also Ann's book "Reaching for Rainbows.") I've planned an entire Christmas eve service combining poems from this book along with the bible Christmas story and favorite carols.
