[***A Medieval Christmas***](https://amzn.to/46SO34P?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

Dollar-for-word, this book is a terrible deal. It's 28 pages long and, except for a short appendix, every word is merely a paste job from the 2003 Revised Standard Edition (Catholic Edition) of the Bible. 

And the book costs $44!

These publishers oughtta be locked up.

But here's the thing: The book isn't meant for reading. It's meant for meditating. 

You might recall that [reading can be left hemispheric or right hemispheric](https://thedailyeudemon.com/read-your-way-out-of-left-hemisphere-hegemony/). This book eliminates any chance that our language-obsessed left hemisphere might hijack our spiritual reading this Season. 

When you sit down with this book, there's pretty much nothing to do except look at these high-quality reproductions of medieval paintings of the Annunciation, Nativity, Epiphany, and other events. 

And as you look, you meditate, which is an exclusively right-hemispheric activity. 

Also recommended in this regard: [*The Splendors of the Rosary*](https://amzn.to/3Ril8kE?ref=thedailyeudemon.com).
