Birth: A Guide for Prayer, the third volume in the Take and Receive Series, helps readers to contemplate the deep meaning of the Incarnation of Christ and how we can live in a way that incarnates the Spirit of Jesus in our world. As we contemplate the meaning of his birth, his call, and his outreach to those in need, we grow in appreciation for the wonder of God entering so fully into our human condition. We experience, stirring within ourselves, the call of grace to respond decisively to the longing deep within our hearts to know Jesus, to love him, and to follow him.
