Through prayerful and imaginative stories, this Christmas devotional will help you enter into Christmas Time with fresh eyes and an open heart. It contains familiar stories from the Christmas season told in a new and engaging way. You will hear the imagined voices of well-known Christmas characters, including Mary and Joseph, the innkeeper, one of the Magi, and the voices of others who might have been present at the miraculous event of Jesus' birth or met him later in life.

Each story invites you to encounter the transformative power of Christ’s presence, moving you beyond the manger and the familiar stories of Christmas Time into a spiritual oasis amid the hustle and bustle of the season. Starting on Christmas Day and lasting through the first weeks of January, this devotional encourages you to open your heart and mind in holy, prayerful imagination and let the Holy Spirit lead you to new encounters with Jesus.

This devotional can be used by individuals, in small faith-sharing groups, with teens, and with families with younger children.

“In this creative, evocative book, Fr. Daly shares his decades of experience in Ignatian prayer, inviting individuals, parish groups, and families into an imaginative exploration of the stories around the birth of Jesus. I warmly recommend this devotional to those who wish to deepen their appreciation of the Gospel stories this Christmas.”
— Tim Muldoon Author of The Ignatian Workout Professor of Philosophy Boston College

“Like a skilled cinematographer, Fr. Daly brings to life the Christmas narrative through creative perspectives and characters in these theological and deeply Ignatian contemplations. This devotional can be used year after year and offers young adults, and others, a fresh take on Christmas through poetically moving stories and spiritually practical reflection questions and activities.”
— Luke Lavin Director of Campus Ministry Gonzaga University Spokane, Washington

“As a father of ten, I’m always looking for materials that will help my children encounter Jesus in engaging, creative ways. Fr. Robert Daly’s Beyond the Manger does just that. Through his poetry, Fr. Daly breaks open familiar Scripture stories and helps us see them with fresh eyes. As a catechetical leader, I’m especially grateful for the group reflection questions aimed at various ages and audiences. I will be recommending this to the catechetical leaders in my diocese as a great resource for family catechesis and small faith-sharing groups.”
— Jonathan F. Sullivan Manager of Catechesis Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana

“Written in beautiful verse and an engaging, accessible tone, Beyond the Manger is a great Christmas devotional for children and adults alike. Readers will be captivated by Fr. Daly’s unique meditations on the thoughts and feelings of the major and minor players in Christ’s birth and early life. With just a few words and some imagination, they will be transported directly into the story. This book is a perfect gift for families with children in schools, in religious education programs, or in the baptismal catechumenate (OCIA).”
— Kara O’Malley Author of Belonging to God’s Family: Nurturing Your Child’s Faith Life (LTP)
