Nativity and Me

Nativity and Me by Fr Bishoy Kamel is a booklet of reflections on the journey from the Annunciation to the Epiphany, for every believer who wants to live the Nativity in daily life.

As he contemplates the events of the Nativity of Christ, Fr Bishoy helps the reader relate them to everyday life, drawing on the ancient Orthodox Fathers to give a full Orthodox understanding of the feast. Its five chapters explore the impact of the Incarnation not only on the world but on each person's life:

• The Annunciation, seen through the life of St Mary and other saints who made it a way of life.
• The Incarnation: the evidence for it, and practical advice on living the Nativity in the 21st century, as God, who is beyond time, meets His children within time.
• God becoming Man: the theology behind it, its meaning for our daily lives, and answers to some of the most common hard questions about the Incarnation.
• The Nativity through the Fathers: Christ embracing humanity and taking flesh to renew the covenant between God and man.
• The Epiphany and the meaning of Baptism as the basis of Christian virtue and practice.
