THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
Christmas from Genesis to Jesus
By Steve Brady. BRF. 194 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 0 857 460 035

Several of Steve Brady’s many gifts are in evidence here; the pithy quote, the apt illustration, the grasp of Bible and gospel essentials. He offers 37 four-page daily readings spanning December 1 to January 6, part secular calendar, part ecclesiastical year, plus Postscript and brief Study Guide.

Some of the stories and quotes are old friends; where they are new and clearly first-hand they pack more punch. Each section ends with a brief ‘Reflection’, varying from verses of classic hymns to the author’s own gentle probings.
