Amazon.com description: Product Description: Describing earthy events with celestial significance, Daniel Weitner discerns divine activity in some of life's most mundane moments. Curious Commercials, a cluster of Advent meditations, is an excellent exposition of Incarnation theology.
Parker T. Williamson
Executive Editor, The Presbyterian Layman
Curious Commercials approaches the Christmas event from a different perspective. Daniel Weitner doesn't treat the nativity as a kind of warm and fuzzy feeling of longing for universal peace that envelops the earth around the end of the year or as a sign pointing to something greater in our lives. In trenchant messages that are liberally sprinkled with contemporary illustrations, he reminds us that to know what Christmas is all about, we don't have to look outside Bethlehem ... beyond the manger ... or past the baby Jesus. Instead we should focus on the birth of Jesus the Redeemer -- it is the wonderful event!
A veteran of 25 years of pastoral ministry, Daniel J. Weitner is currently pastor of First Presbyterian Church in North Arlington, New Jersey, a parish situated in the heart of the Meadowlands suburbs of New York City. He holds a B.A. degree in English literature from Grove City College (Pennsylvania) and an M.Div. degree from Princeton Theological Seminary.
