This review is from: The Christ of Christmas: Readings for Advent; 31 Days of Devotions (Hardcover)

This is an excellent devotional for the Advent season, even if you don't belong to a denomination that practices Advent (I don't). A little different than most devotionals for Advent, this one runs from Dec. 1-31, right up to the new year.

The book is small and easy to carry on the bus or wherever. It includes a ribbon bookmark to keep your place. The pages are think and glossy - this book is built to last over many Christmas seasons! The daily Scriptures are printed in the book, so there is no need to go digging through your Bible unless you want to - there are additional readings for each day that do need to be looked up, but only if you have the inclination.

I give it four stars. I don't agree with everything in it, but I would recommend it to everyone. Can I give it 4 1/2 stars? ;)

Buy this book! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Christmas Devotional, December 10, 2010

This review is from: The Christ of Christmas: Readings for Advent; 31 Days of Devotions (Hardcover)

The Christ of Christmas has been a family tradition of ours for at least six years. As soon as the tree is decorated everyone yells, "Get the Christmas Book!" Each night in December we curl up together, read the message, look up the scripture and pray together. I really can't imagine Christmas without it anymore. I've looked at other Advent devotionals but I'm not sure they dig as deeply into the staggering truth of what it meant for the world when Christ was born. If you desire to help your family keep it's focus on the wonder and beauty of Christ during the holidays, I highly recommend this book to you.
