Publisher's Synopsis
What Child Is This? Many people have asked this question: Mary, when she found out she was pregnant:Joseph, when he was told his bethrothed was with child; King Herod, when he realized a baby threatened his reign; the shepherds, when the angels proclaimed Jesus' birth; the Wise Men, when they followed the star and met a child. Christians around the world ask this very question each Advent - what child is this, who is both God incarnate and lowly human, who is the Savior of the world, yet also an infant sleeping in a feeding trough? What Child is This? Daily Devotions walks readers throuigh the Advent season, using the familiar Advent hymn title of the same name. Readers will be reminded of the wonder and amazement that the God of the universe imparted salvation to humans through a small child.
