Even more importantly, it addresses ‘What does this mean to you?'” “It was wonderful to have a new Christmas devotional every morning. My morning Bible time was enhanced with these readings.” “Simply amazing collection of thoughts to make the true meaning of Christmas very plain. This devotional will help put us in the right frame of mind to celebrate Jesus’ birthday with all the awe and blessings it represents.” “In today’s fast-paced society it is refreshing to have a devotional that is focused on the true meaning of Christmas. I plan to read this when I feel spiritually unbalanced throughout the year. Of course, it will now before my ‘go to’ Advent devotional every December!” “Informative yet fascinating, meticulous yet simple. It is truly a joy to read this Christmas devotional as you literally become a part of the story of Jesus as it unfolds into the story of Christmas, the true reason for the season. Anyone reading this will truly be blessed!!!” ALSO, in Spanish… Alegría de Navidad. ___________ Also, available for pre-order… A Better Year Ahead? Opening Our Eyes to Hope.   Moving into better days ahead means learning how to accept what we cannot change and becoming wiser about what we do influence. 2020 was a very difficult year. All of life was disrupted for almost everyone on the planet because of the global pandemic. We have been isolated from each other. Businesses have failed. Families are tense. Racial tensions have flared up. Political discourse has become like warfare. People became weary and confused and stressed. Some have lost hope. The year ahead can be better. We need to open our eyes to hope. God gives us hope. Jesus taught about hope that comes from living in the blessings and responsibilities of the kingdom of God. Sometimes that hope requires us to act. PRE-ORDER NOW
