A 25 day Advent devotional for rest, worship, and reflection. Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year and sometimes we just need permission to rest and remember what the season is all about.

Each day will begin with a reflection on a familiar Christmas carol or hymn as we discover the untold story and study the Scriptural inspiration for each beloved song.

At a time of change, uncertainty and widespread anxiety, we need to discover again the freshness of our most familiar spiritual resources. Stephen Cherry’s Lent Book does exactly this by inviting the listener to immerse themselves in the most central, important and iconic of Christian prayers - the Lord’s Prayer, the Our Father.

What do you want for Christmas? We all hear this question everywhere, but author Scott Rankin invites us all to slow down for a moment and ask a different question. What does God want for Christmas? Our Lord desires that we become more Christ-like every day (1 Corinthians 11:1). To accomplish this goal, he tells us to renew our minds (Romans 12:2). But how do the Christmas holidays help accomplish this goal if so much busyness and stress make it hard to focus all our attention on Christ and completely rest in his peace? I

During the holidays, so many of us can suffer for all kinds of reasons. More and more churches are acknowledging this fact with "Blue Christmas" services (also called "Longest Night" services) and offering resources to give particular support and comfort to those struggling during the "most wonderful time of the year". In A Weary World, Escobar provides 28 daily reflections paired with prayers and practices to honor our struggles during the holidays. Weekly resources make this Advent devotional suitable for group study as well.

The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added onto it. Cultures have added on to it. It’s passed through countries, and they’ve tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairy-tale. It’s an inspiring one for sure. But a fairy-tale, nonetheless. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is.

His parents gave him the name Jesus. But the prophets, the shepherds, the wise men, and the angels addressed him by other names. They called him Lord, Messiah, Savior, Emmanuel, Light of the World, and Word Made Flesh. In Incarnation, best-selling author Adam Hamilton explores the meaning of these titles and what they tell us about the child whose birth we celebrate at Christmas. Join him and reflect upon the significance of the Christ-child for our lives and world today!

As soon as Jess Green arrives at her new home, 14 Christmas Street, she knows this will be no ordinary December. The residents of this little road have come together to create something extraordinary: a real-life advent calendar, where one house will open its door each day until Christmas for a festive celebration. Each day, that is, except Christmas Eve. It should be the loveliest moment of all, but no one can persuade the octogenarian Mr Winters at Number 24 to be involved.

You can travel back through time to the Christmas season during the Victorian era with Charles Dickens’ cast of characters in the Charles Dickens Complete Christmas Collection.

Perché facciamo gli auguri? Perché decoriamo l'abete? E le luci di Natale? Perché ci si bacia sotto il vischio? Cosa ci fanno il bue e l'asinello nel presepe se i Vangeli non ne parlano? Sapevi che nella mangiatoia c'era anche un gatto? E che uno dei re Magi è diventato italiano? E la stella cometa? E la ghirlanda? E il pupazzo di neve? Ogni anno compiamo gesti ricorrenti con grande sicurezza, spesso senza sapere o chiederci il perché.

Christmas is fast approaching at the new Hope Farm and Bev has convinced a reluctant Molly to organise an open day to raise some much needed funds ahead of the New Year.
