I’m not real big on devotionals because I always forget to do them but this was a lot of fun to do with my friends. I liked how reflective it made me of the time leading up to Jesus being born.

I loved Hudson's emphasis in this easy to read book: wonder! The Advent season is full of wonder and this book helps us remember that. By taking a word-a-day, Hudson uses a short Bible passage to illustrate the particular aspect of 'wonder' the word highlights.
Each day is one to two pages long and Hudson, like all his books. uses an invitational language to encourage us. There is a 'practice prompt' at the end of each devotion that I found a useful way of reflecting further on the word of the day.
I expect I'll use this again next year.

Wonderful reflections for the Christmas season. 2020
This was just what I needed to read this year. I appreciated the tasks or actions that drew my more into the season.
