The First Act of Creation: On the Way to Emmanuel - Paperback

by David Michael Belczyk (Author)

The First Act of Creation lyrically and contemplatively explores the mystery of our existence and the beauty of humanity in light of the incarnation. It traces a path through salvation history in expectation of the Messiah, viewing creation and revelation through God's plan that the Word should become flesh out of love for us and for the greater glory of God. Similar to Lenten Stations of the Cross, these Advent Stations can be used for communal prayer and private reflection. Proceeds from the sale of The First Act of Creation support the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, Israel, which provides quality medical care to mothers and babies regardless of religion, ethnicity, or ability to pay.
