An Advent devotional I'll be reading again and again

Sometimes advent devotionals can feel redundant. This one does not. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the different takes on the season from all the many Spirit-filled authors. The chapters were quite long, but very rich in insight. I chose to take my time working through it so finished a little behind schedule. I will be re-reading this again next year and I'm sure many years to come! I've recommended it to several friends and they have said the same thing!

Excellent advent devotional. Some of the authors were better than others. There were some devotional that were incredible and some that were basic and simple.

A wonderful compilation

I'm concentrating on Immanuel God with us for the new year and this is a good primer for this focus. If you watch Sid Roth's ISN, this will be easy to relate to. What a marvelous group of saints Larry Sparks is compiling with Destiny Image Publishing!
