Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

Wow. Welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and since we've got you late. Welcome to Middays, I'm Susie Larson.

Always honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day

that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk,

the deep in your understanding of God's Word,

and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. My guest today writes this, what if you could

spend this Christmas season delighting in your Savior instead of trying to create a picture-perfect

holiday? We believe Christmas is all about the birth of Christ, yet we're often more focused on

finishing our holiday to-do list than we are on celebrating the

greatest gift of all. Asherita Choochoo joins me today to talk about her beautiful book, unwrapping

the names of Jesus. It's this little hardcover Advent book. It's just gorgeous, and the content is so

great. This is another one of those books. I wish I had 20 copies to give away, but I do have five.

And if you listen often enough, you know the drill, but if you're brand new to middays,

I got to explain it to you. And this is a new process, fairly new. We're asking for your grace and your patience as we work it out. We are just committed to getting free resources

into your hand every single day on middays. But because of that, we don't have the team in the bandwidth

behind the scenes to manually enter every single name. So this is how we do it. We have you text the word

book, just book, not in quotations, not exclamation point, just book to this number,

877-933-2484. It'll kick back an auto-response with a link. It'll just take you a minute or two to enter the drawing, and we'll draw five names from there. Thank you so much for your patience and your grace. It sure makes our job easier and allows us to get books out into your hands. Quick announcement before we hear from Asherita. All this month, the staff at Faith Radio, we're reading a chapter a day out of the gospel of Luke just in celebration of the Christmas season of Advent. So we're on day two, so December 2. So if you haven't started yet, because you're just hearing about it, read two chapters today. You can sign up online just to let us know. Count me in. We've already got about 100 people who said, count me in,

and I don't think we've announced it yet. So Myfaithradio.com, you'll see an Advent reading
