Editorial Reviews

John Hoh's "Silent Meditations on a Silent Night" brings new imagination to the very old, and still compelling, story of the Birth of the Christ Child. Three of the six writings are small Christmas poems. It is in the three very short stories that I found new ways to understand this great, enduring mystery.

Alvin F. Oickle

I liked this short book because it is a medley of poems and short stories. I particularly enjoyed the writings because the author uses the present tense, which makes one feel as if one is in the story. He also uses present-day language.
