This book contains 25 devotions and prayers which can be used by individuals, small groups, and families during the first 25 days of December. Each devotion has a Bible verse, a short reflection, a point to ponder or discuss, and a closing prayer. The Bible verses have been chosen from the weekly lectionary readings of Advent, helping the readers to align themselves spiritually with the common readings used in church worship services at this sacred time of year.
I hope that the devotions will enable people to stop for a moment in the busyness of their lives and think about God’s love and grace. Advent is a beautiful time of year when Christians all over the world prepare themselves, not just for Christmas like everyone else, but for the special time when Christ will return to the world to heal its brokenness and reconcile all things to God.
