Christmas is great—in fact, it's better than all the commercial hype! In the midst of the gift-buying, make-everybody-happy, food-gorging craziness that is Christmas, Matt Chandler helps us stop… breathe… and refocus our hearts.
In this personal, warm and compelling book, we see how the God of the Bible offers what we really crave—joy and peace—at Christmas, all year round, and into eternity!
It's no secret that Matt Chandler is a gifted communicator of the gospel. But he's much more than that. He's a pastor whose heart for the lost and for the church is evident at every turn. I thank God for Matt's voice of clarity and conviction, and pray his words and witness continue to bear much fruit.

Christmas is a great time to give a non-Christian friend or church visitor a short book getting to the heart of what it's truly all about. This is perfect for giving out at church events, or with a present.
In this short, winsome book a teenage girl, a respected priest, a group of angels and an old man bring readers to the heart of Christmas, showing them the joy and peace that comes from meeting a baby who lay in the food trough and changed eternity.
I believe that many rock lyricists think they are screaming at God, when they are really screaming out for Him. Alistair Begg connects Biblical song writing to modern song writing to make his illustrations come alive.

Everyone seems to say that Christmas is about love. It’s in the songs we hear as we shop for presents and in the adverts we see on TV. It’s in the cards we send and on the gift tags we write. And Christians can agree. Christmas really is about love, because love came down at Christmas in the person of Jesus Christ.
This Advent devotional contains 24 daily readings from 1 Corinthians 13. Sinclair B Ferguson brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity.

However you're feeling, your heart will be refreshed as you wonder again at the truth that love came down at Christmas.
