Product Description

​In an ideal world, Advent would be spent in quiet contemplation, meditating upon the wonder of the Christ-child, and anticipating his return as our Saviour.

Instead, we enter arguably the busiest month of the year. Have we booked time off to see the kids' Nativity play? What's the Secret Santa budget? And who became a vegetarian this year?

Perhaps, though, it is this busyness which can be the key to a deeper connection with Christ. Perhaps these Christmas 'trimmings' have the potential to teach us more about God. And, as we open our hearts and minds, perhaps we will discover that the Christmas story was busier, messier and more haphazard than we ever imagined.

In this unique devotional, written for busy people, Lucy Rycroft helps us to use the festivities around us to fix our eyes on Christ, deepening our relationship with the Father God who sent him.

Lucy Rycroft writes the popular Christian parenting blog Desertmum (lucyrycroft.com). Formerly a teacher and PGCE lecturer, she now divides her time between freelance writing and raising her kids. Lucy lives in York with her husband and their four children.

Honest. Funny. Heart-inspiring. Challenging.

I loved reading this devotional. It brings Jesus right back to where He's meant to be - at the centre of our lives, even in the busy lead up to Christmas. Each day is a short easy read, and it's all too tempting to read ahead - it's that good! I love Lucy's style of writing - her humour, and very real down-to-earth wisdom. This devotional is hugely thought-provoking, with sections on redeeming our homes, redeeming our Christmas, redeeming our hearts and redeeming our communities. If you want your Christmas season to be about Jesus this year, then reading this book is a great way to start!

Pure Gold

Redeeming Advent by Lucy Rycroft is the perfect book to accompany you his December as we look forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus.

The book is split into four sections, each with six chapters. At the end of each chapter are questions to ponder and a prayer. All are designed to draw us closer to, and keep focused on Jesus. “Don’t lose Jesus in the haze of Christmas consumerism.”

Lucy Rycroft writes in a very personable way. It feels more like advice from a dear friend. She uses personal anecdotes and we get a glimpse into her life.

One reading that really impacted me was about our visible faith. Can my faith be seen physically and in my conversations and actions? Wow! We are not called to ram our faith down anyone’s throat but we are called to show the love of Jesus in action – ‘what you did for the least, you did for Me.’ If we were on trial for our faith, is there enough evidence to convict us?

Jesus does not always give us what we want. And He certainly does not give us what we deserve – we deserve death but He gives us life. Jesus came to shine a light in a dark world. We are called to spread His light.

Redeeming Advent was a powerful illuminating read that will help you in your Christian walk this advent season.

I will leave you with this simple but profound quote:

“While we wait for Heaven, there is an adventure that God wants to take us on.”

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
