Recently I picked up a book that I bought years ago at a local used bookstore, and I opened right to a section that really spoke to me about some things and was revelant to my present.
This was interesting to me, as I hadn't read the book yet because I had felt like God hadn't wanted me to read it yet, though maybe that was just me imagining things.
After reading a bit through it, I decided to look up its author on twitter, and in doing so, I came across a tweet by someone expressing their affection for a Christmas book she wrote.
I've posted it below and have added it to my future Advent reading list ☺.

"'God with us.' When our sins made it impossible for us to come to him, God took the outrageous step of coming to us, of making himself susceptible to sorrow, familiar with temptation, and vulnerable to sin's disruptive power, in order to cancel its claim. In Jesus we see how extreme God's love is." ~Ann Spangler
You'll find a handful of other quotes from this book here.

*A confusing aspect of this title is that there seems to be more than one subtitle associated with it, the second one being, "Praying the Names of Jesus Through the Christmas Season" (see here, here, and here). At first I thought this was the title of a second book by her but realized it is not.
