Description

Child in the Manger, The True Meaning of ChristmasWhat is Christmas? For many it is a time for holidays, parties, family gatherings, gifts, meals together, music, and special events. For others it can mean unwanted pressure, an increased sense of loneliness, family squabbles, and crowded shops. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas takes place at the onset of winter with its cold weather and short days. There are more incidents of depression at Christmas time than at any other time

What is Christmas? For many it is a time for holidays, parties, family gatherings, gifts, meals together, music, and special events. For others it can mean unwanted pressure, an increased sense of loneliness, family squabbles, and crowded shops. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, Christmas takes place at the onset of winter with its cold weather and short days. There are more incidents of depression at Christmas time than at any other time of the year. It is the best of times for some, but the worst of times for others to borrow a phrase from Charles Dickens. But Christmas is a very elusive thing, isn’t it? We may look forward to it. But what exactly is ‘it’? ‘A time for children’; ‘It’s about peace’; ‘It’s about family’; ‘It’s about gifts, but it’s a pity it has become so commercialised’ – these are a few of the popular answers to the question, ‘What does Christmas mean to you?’ But what is Christmas really all about? Does it actually have any ‘meaning’? Child in the Manger – The True Meaning of Christmas sets out to explore that question. When we find the answer we realise that it isn’t only for Christmas time. So these pages are an invitation to explore what that meaning is. And if this book has come into your hands around Christmas time, may it help you to enjoy it in a new way! The birth of Jesus divided history into two major epochs. Until the dawn of our hyper-sensitive age, even the way we dated events underscored this. From time immemorial every day, every week, every month, every year has been described as either ‘B.C.’ (‘Before Christ’) or ‘A.D.’ (Anno Domini, ‘in the year of our Lord’). Even the modern, pluralistic style abbreviations, B.C.E. (‘Before the Common Era’) and C.E. (‘Common Era’), cannot obliterate the indelible impress of Jesus’ birth. For what makes the ‘Common Era’ so ‘common’? And what explains the dividing line date? The answer is the same: the birth of Jesus. At the very centre of history stands the person of Jesus Christ. And he does so because he is at the centre of God’s story.

Secure Fit, great hold
Very solid fit, doesn't wobble or shift positions while driving even on very bumpy roads. Magnet is very strong and sturdy, once phone is in position it's not going anywhere unless you remove it. Great product especially for the price.

exactly what i needed
I wanted to add to my original review 6 months ago This little mount has stayed on my Model X for 6 months now and it works GREAT! Very sturdy and the magnet locks on immediately every time I drive. it's handy on the top left of my screen for a WAZE map to be alerted for those issues on the road whenever I'm on a long drive. I'm really happy with it and I bought another one for my coworker's birthday. Uploading another video. I would highly recommend. ------- This mount for my Tesla is exactly what i needed for my road trip. I really don't need it to wireless charge as cable are faster anyway. Pros: - Very easy to install. doesn't test my IQ with all the unnecessary instructions. - NO NEED for 3M stickie adhesive on my car. I just simply don't want this in my car! Bad experience in the past and I'll return anything that needs to uses a 3M adhesive. - Very strong magnet grip. Bought it right before my 10 hour road trip, no issues at all. - connects to the top 2 angles on my model X, I will likely buy another mount for the passenger seat. It will also work with the bottom angle when I tilt the screen out. - And it seem to be able to bypass the Tesla cabin camera during AP/FSD. Down sides: - it would be great if it can also charge- however i would not want a cable dangling to the 12v port./ - price is a bit on the high side

Falls regularly
It works for a bit but falls from my screen on a very regular basis no matter how tight I tighten it or what position the phone is in. The magnet it strong, but the mount itself doesn’t hold on to the screen where it’s supposed to.

It holds the phone pretty well!
Updated review: I gave this another try and it worked, the reason was previously I was rotating the nob in the wrong direction... now it fits pretty well and stays in the installed position securely! But I'm still worried about the added pressure on the display, hopefully it works fine. Overall I think it's worth a try if you need a magnetic phone holder! (ps: I was never contacted by the manufacture, I figured out the correct way to use it so I came here to update my review) --- Original title: Doesn't fit my Model 3 display too well, and it adds pressure on it. I wouldn't recommend it Original review: I don't understand all the positive reviews of this MagSafe holder. It could work, but I find it very unstable on my Model 3 2023's display. After I fit it onto the display and tried adjusting the angles or taking off the phone, the holder tended to fall off. Also it adds pressure to the display which could technically damage it. I wouldn't recommend this.
