Postmodern culture has turned Advent into a month-long shopping spree and Christmas into a fortnight's bacchanal, so it is difficult for today's Christians to remain focused on the 'reason for the season': the birth of the Messiah two millennia ago. Advent and Christmas with the Saints will help the faithful refocus on God during this time of distraction.

Beginning with the first day of Lent and continuing through the twelve days of Christmas to Epiphany, Advent and Christmas with the Saints provides daily readings from the writings and teachings of the saints. Readers walk day-by-day with the saints, recalling the Scriptures they read, meditating on the thoughts they had, praying as they may have prayed, and talking openly with God. Each entry concludes with a modern thought-provoking prayer.
