In Where the Eye Alights, Marilyn McEntyre offers 40 short meditations, based on excerpts from Scripture and poetry, that guide listeners on a devotional journey from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday. As in lectio divina - the spiritual practice of reading Scripture repetitively and meditatively - McEntyre invites us to notice words that may give us pause and summon us to reflection.

What do you want for Christmas? We all hear this question everywhere, but author Scott Rankin invites us all to slow down for a moment and ask a different question. What does God want for Christmas? Our Lord desires that we become more Christ-like every day (1 Corinthians 11:1). To accomplish this goal, he tells us to renew our minds (Romans 12:2). But how do the Christmas holidays help accomplish this goal if so much busyness and stress make it hard to focus all our attention on Christ and completely rest in his peace? I

The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added onto it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairy-tale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairy-tale, nonetheless. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is.

Do you want to have a better life? Do you want a closer relationship with God? Haven’t so may of us lost so much from COVID-19 that you want these things in your life? You see the uniqueness of my book, The True Story of the Attempted Murder of Jesus Christ, as seen on the Hillsong Channel, is that the apostle Paul, whose writings are in the Bible, knows the same truth that I expose in the book. A truth that God has graced me with knowing from the Bible. A truth that no man has ever written about until me, well except for Paul.

The year begins with the season of Advent, when we think of the first coming of Jesus into the world and the way in which it was prepared for his coming. Then follows Christmas, the well-known and popular festival when we remember the Saviour’s birth to a Jewish lady, Mary. This is followed by the Epiphany, when the Lord was first shown to the non-Jewish people, the Gentiles. Quite a significant event for those not of the Jewish faith. It is the first recorded time that the Lord was shown to non-Jewish people (Gentiles), reminding us that he came for everyone.
