Enrich Your Christmas with the Sounds of the Season
Music has always been central to celebrating the coming of Christ into the world. With Hosanna in Excelsis you can experience the hymns of the season like never before. This devotional couples the lyrics and score of a new hymn daily with a devotional message about the hymn’s biblical and spiritual truths. You’ll find hymns of advent like “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” that anticipate the coming of Christ, hymns of Nativity like “O Little Town of Bethlehem” that celebrate His birth, and hymns of Epiphany like “Go Tell it on the Mountain” that marvel at His glory. Go deeper with classic Christmas favorites like “O Holy Night” and learn others that may be lesser-known like “On Jordan’s Bank the Baptist’s Cry.” Each devotional teaches you about the background of the hymn, while inviting you into worship and praise.Celebrate the coming of Christ by immersing yourself in the legacy of music that truly honors the Christmas season. Hosanna in Excelsis is a great Christmas gift for the musicians in your life or for anyone who wants to go deeper celebrating the birth of our savior.

My Review:
I am quite impressed with this book. I loved this selection of Christmas hymns. Most of them I was very familiar with, but there were a couple that I did not know, and I enjoyed learning those songs. The history behind each of these hymns is interesting and and I learned some facts that I didn’t know. But more than that, I enjoyed taking a closer look at the meanings behind the lyrics. I liked the format of reading a hymn/devotional during Advent, and plan on incorporating this in our daily Bible reading for each day during the Advent season.
One drawback to reading this advanced reader copy is that I didn’t get to see the artwork that’s throughout the book, so I’m going buy a copy of this hardback book. I’m recommending this book for thoughtful and inspiring reading during the Christmas season.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
