Great Books to Read for Advent

Advent began this past Sunday, November the 27th, which marks the beginning of the Church’s celebration of God’s taking up human flesh in Jesus Christ and becoming a man for us and for our salvation. In the spirit of this, here I wanted to share some of my favorite Advent related books you might enjoy reading (organized by author). Merry Christmas!
