"This Advent, Magrey deVega invites you to explore some of the letters in the New Testament, the Epistles, to hear about the miracle of Christs birth from those who first told the story."-- Back cover."You may or may not know the story of your birth. If you do, there is something special about hearing your origin story again and remembering how it all began for you. Thats why we observe Advent: to celebrate how it all began for us. In The Christmas Letters, Magrey deVega invites you to hear about the miracle of Christs birth from those who first told the story. The letters in the New Testament, known as the Epistles, contain the first attempts by the church to understand and celebrate the mystery of the Incarnation. They point us to the origins of what we believe about Jesus, fully human and fully divine.

By spending time with these holy, ancient words this Advent, youll come to know the meaning of Christs coming like never before. Read the New Testament letters, Romans, 1 John, Philippians, and Colossians as your first Christmas letters of the season and find within them an invitation from God to deepen your understanding of the Incarnation and embrace a fuller commitment to Jesus Christ"--.
