This book is conceived to be read to 
The house, or only or in the context of the family. In fact, the own family of the Courtage is never moved away from the surface in its meditations. The winters of his education in rural Nebraska, its own experiences as a parent, and the stillborn one of his grandson that all contribute to its insights on the "the stable place" and the holy family that lodged there. The charm and the frustration of a lot of the reflections are the manner in which the sacrifices of author structure to leave his flow of current of conscience. A good number of the meditations supposes that a rather imaginative one takes the history of Christmas.

The poem is light, wise, a lot of faith, we drawing in the mystery, touching the deep desires of the human heart with the pictures that evoke the prodigy ...[It] homes on the incarnation, an act of full grace when "the sky cannot hold it". This grace comes to a humble human birthplace, to the humanity of Mary and to our own humanity, in the middle of the divine angelic presence. If these meditations set up themselves on the paradox, tension, the force, and the contradiction tested in come it from Christ of the sky to the earth.
