Summary

If you're coming into this Christmas exhausted or empty, it may be because you're focused on secondary things—from finding the perfect gift to enduring the imperfect family gathering. In this timely message of hope, John and Stasi reorient us to the deeper, truer story of Advent season—which is both a celebration of Christ's first coming as a babe in the manger and an anticipation of his second coming as King. Your Christmas joy will increase exponentially as you look not only back at Jesus' arrival into our world, but forward to his return.
