Purchase options and add-ons

In 1741, John Wesley preached his famous sermon titled “The Almost Christian” in which he encouraged people to follow Christ wholeheartedly. We should not be satisfied with being almost Christian but rather strive towards being altogether a Christian.


In Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience, author and pastor Magrey deVega leads a group of authors to explore how we can make the same commitment to Christ during Advent, connecting our Wesleyan heritage with the traditional Advent themes of Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace.


In this book, perfect for Advent, deVega and the other authors break down the barriers that prevent us from experiencing an “altogether” love, hope, joy, and peace in Christ in our lives and in the world around us. They demonstrate the promises God offers to us that makes those longings a reality, inviting us to claim those promises for ourselves this Advent and celebrate an altogether Christmas.

The devotional contains 28 daily devotions for the four weeks of Advent corresponding to the themes of Altogether Love, Altogether Hope, Altogether Joy, and Altogether Peace. Written by pastors and other leaders, the devotions celebrate and bring together the season of Advent and the best of our Wesleyan heritage.

    This devotional re-kindled my enthusiasm about the details of the journeys of John & Charles Wesley. The devotional also introduced several, theologically-rich hymns. Other seemingly well-known hymns were explained in ways that increased their utility in both worship and daily living.

    Wow this book came and I was literally laughing... it is NOT a good-sized book like it appears. It’s this little, thin booklet-like thing that you could probably finish in 2 days. And I paid almost $13 for it!!! Not worth that much at all.
