Advent Devotional

This is a good devotional for the Advent season. It touches on some key topics and has the potential to open up different perspectives for the reader.

[George Love]

This devotional works alongside of the book and DVD study SENT. The devotional, like the study, is divided up among five authors. It works. It is not disjointed, but instead is five different voices working at the larger theme of what it means that the God who sent us Jesus at Christmas now sends us to serve and live for him in the world. One of the best qualities of this Advent devotional is that it does not get bogged down in traditional Advent stories and approaches, but instead pulls scripture from different locations and does indeed work with Advent not as a story to be rehashed, but as a key to a faith to be lived.
