As the Christmas season approaches, many will be busy taking part in activities that don't represent the reason for Christmas: the birth of Christ. From Creation to the Gospel, an Advent devotional written by Michael Wood, provides readers with an Advent calendar depicting the creation of Earth: from the temptation and Fall of Adam to the virgin birth and Jesus' ascension. Each day of the devotional covers promises in the Old Testament and promises fulfilled in the New Testament, with the goal of educating readers on who we are as God's creation. Michael encourages readers each day to remember that we are made in God's image, and according to God's plan: not just being believers of Jesus, but taking on the duties of Christians in spreading the gospel everywhere. As we learn what Jesus' life, death and resurrection mean at Christmastime, we can live it out in faith and action.
