The season of Advent

We are entering the season of Advent -- a time of preparation for the coming of Christ.  Advent not only anticipates the celebration of Jesus' birth at Christmas, but also is a time for looking ahead to his second coming at the end of time.

There are plenty of holiday activities and celebrations in the month ahead.  In the midst of all the busyness, you may wish to pause at times for a devotional thought.  I'd like to recommend a set of 25 devotions which were written for the days of December leading up to Christmas.  The booklet, called The Coming of Christ: Promises Made, Promises Kept, was published in 2015.  Online copies of the booklet are still available for online viewing  or as a downloadable file.  I served as managing editor of the project, with writers of my acquaintance penning the devotions.   Several of those messages were also featured on this blog last December.

If you have a further interest, you can also access other seasonal devotion booklets from MLC, including Isaiah Had Foretold It, the newest edition of messages for Advent.

Holiday blessings to you!

  1. I so enjoyed every devotion in this booklet! I kept the book and read the devotions again this past Advent season. Thank you for providing devotional materials for us in many different formats, such as this blogspot.
