Product Description

The Christmas story is one surprise after another. But sometimes the details become so familiar that they lose their impact.

These Advent reflections, written by David Mathis, help us to dwell deeply on the most stunning and significant event in the history of the world: that God himself became one of us.

Be amazed once more by the unexpected details of Jesus' unique birth and saving work with these short daily devotions and prayers, and renew your worship of our humble, generous and loving Saviour.

Written by David Mathis, author of Habits of Grace, executive editor for desiringGod.org and pastor at Cities Church in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
