We often look for God in the spectacular, but Advent reminds us that our extraordinary God

came in the ordinary, in flesh and blood, to dwell with us. This Advent reflect on the wonder of

the incarnation with Heaven Came Down, a new devotional by Dr. Michael Horton, published by Solar

Media. Over four weeks, published by Sola Media.

Over four weeks, it explores how the Almighty veiled himself and flesh, not to terrify us,

but to save us. Your support helps us bring the good news to more people. Consider requesting

a copy for your own Advent reflections, or has a gift for someone who needs hope

this season. Get your copy with the donation of any amount to support our work at
