The Marvel and Miracle of Advent Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Recapturing the Wonder of Jesus Living with Us

by Christine Caine, Lisa Harper

This is a wake-up call to WONDER . . . peel off your emotional Spanx and become re-gospeled by the truism of Immanuel—of God. With. Us.

Remember when your eyes used to well up with tears whenever you sang, Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king that first Sunday after Thanksgiving? What happened to the starry eyes we used to have only for Jesus? One of my mentors, pastor and professor Scotty Smith, wryly observes that far too many Christ-followers are like Cinderella with amnesia. We've forgotten that the supernatural scaffolding of our belief system isn't a human construct but is instead a divine love story wherein the King of all kings willingly sets aside His scepter in Glory, shrugs into a suit of skin, and condescends to be born in a cattle trough in order to capture our fickle human hearts.

If a warm embrace and a double shot of caffeine got married and had a baby, it would be this Bible study because participants will be both enveloped in the Living Hope of Christ Incarnate and compelled to share that hope with other image bearers!

I loved listening to this Bible study guide! The presenters are so passionate and engaging, and they do a great job of telling the stories of the Bible in a way that is both interesting and meaningful. I learned so much about the meaning of Advent and the importance of Jesus' birth in our lives.

I highly recommend this Bible study guide to anyone who wants to learn more about Advent and the Christmas story. It is a truly enriching experience.

The beauty of advent and waiting.

Christina and Lisa take an approach to the advent season outside of Jesus but who God uses in the story of the coming of Christ.

From misfits, prostitutes, to a woman who had no choice and a couple more who had to wait and have the patience of a saint; Harper and Caine ask questions that make you wonder in a world where we need our answers right now…what would it be like if we just waited.

The first Advent study that I’ve actually finished! We completed the series as a group and had wonderful conversations prompted by the readings/workbook. The content of the videos was compelling and enlightening while the prompts I completed independently allowed for more meaningful introspection this Advent season.

Great Perspective on Advent

I love the authors and this study gives a new take on the stories of Advent. The self study has very thought provoking questions to take the study deeper.

The Marvel and Miracle of Advent Bible Study was an uplifting experience. This is a wonderful resource to help refocus and recapture the awe of Jesus’ presence during the Advent season.
