Advent, A Calendar of Devotions is a booklet of daily devotions for the season of Advent (the four weeks before Christmas) that helps you step back from bustle and stress of the season and prepare your heart and mind to rejoice in God's loving gift, Jesus Christ.

Each daily devotion includes a recommended Scripture reading, a Bible verse, an inspiring message, and an uplifting prayer.

Advent, A Calendar of Devotions is ideal for churches to purchase in large quantities todistribute to every adult member of the congregation and those beyond the congregation that need a message of hope, comfort., and joy. The booklet fits easily into a #10 envelope for mailing.

When ordering for your congregation, remember to secure copies for nursing homes residents, prisons, and other groups with whom you are in ministry.

Also available in Large Print (14-point type) for those with sight impairments.
