Rate this book

Do you feel like you’ve lost the wonder, excitement, and joy that children have at Christmas?


Are advent devotionals just too dry to rekindle what was lost?


What if the Christmas story was different? Would you still think the same way?


This book 30 unique twists on the Christmas story to reawaken the wonder, to restore the joy, and to highlight the misconceptions that have crept into our modern narrative.


Together with raw and vulnerable daily email devotions to touch the hardest of hearts, may this little book open your eyes afresh to Christ in the mess at Christmess.

155 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

John Spencer

18 books6 followers
John trained as a teacher at Oxford University, but despite this he still refers to himself in the third person.

John loves using stories and his rather quirky British humour to open people’s eyes.

When he’s not wrestling with his work-life balance or literally wrestling with his four children, he’s wrestling with writing words on a page in his cramped study.

You can find him at his website: JohnSpencerWrites.com

John lives with his family near Oxford, England where daily he wonders how his wife still finds the same jokes funny after more than 20 years of marriage.
