As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them . . . —John 17:18
God sent Christ at Christmas. In turn, Christ sends us into the worldto be his hands and feet, head and heart. Dynamic pastor Jorge Acevedoleads us on a 5-week Advent journey to discover how, where, and why weare sent. Joining him on the journey are four young clergy includingJacob Armstrong, Rachel Billups, Justin LaRosa, and Lanecia Rouse, whochallenge us through story, art, and Bible study.
Our pastor used this book as a sermon series during Advent. Each chapter was a good and some were emotional. I recommend this book even if you don't have to read it.
I throughly enjoyed this advent resource. I read it last year as well and many of the stories and anecdotes stuck with me. After retreading it this advent, I realized just how many of the ideas had worked their way into my mind. I have used some of the illustrations in sermons. I plan to purchase the study next year to use with our small group. I highly recommend this resource for people looking for an engaging spiritual read to enrich their own personal devotions this advent.
