Good News, Great Joy, for All People: An Advent Devotional

Product Description

Discover God’s good news of great joy for all people—including you! Originally written for Church of the City New York's 2018 advent season, this book is an invitation to encounter the hope, peace, joy, and love of Jesus and to discover why Christmas is good news for 21st-century people in a hurting world. The Christmas season can be full of joy, but it can also be hectic and hard on those who are hurting. We can drown those feelings in eggnog, leaving these tensions unexamined, or we can step into the light of the Advent candles to see, maybe for the first time, that a loving God with good plans for our future has stepped into our broken world to set things right. An energizing read whether you’re full of faith or questions, find a quiet place to unwrap the gifts of Advent and see why the baby in the manger is good news for people like us.

This book was written for my community at Church of the City New York (visit church.nyc) and is the outpouring of my writing about Advent, which you can find at www.theadvent.co. It was inspired by a desire not to go through the motions at Christmas but to deeply and personally connect with the hope, peace, joy and love that Christmas dares to offer us.

This book contains four weekly reflections to guide you through the season of Advent, following the rhythm of the candles, which symbolize the Hope of the patriarchs who expected Christ, the Peace the Messiah will bring, our Joy when we receive Jesus, and God's powerful Love for us.
