—Paul E. Miller, author, A Praying Life; J-Curve; and A Praying Church

“Few things stir the imagination like the incarnation. The eternal God took on human flesh. Throughout history, authors and artists have labored to capture and convey the truth about Jesus, the incarnate Son of God. Immanuel brings devotional wisdom and artistic beauty together in a way that helps the hurried heart slow down and meditate on the glory of God with us. I trust you will adore Jesus all the more because of this book.”
—J. Garrett Kell, Pastor, Del Ray Baptist Church, Alexandria, Virginia; author, Pure in Heart
