HOPE IS A PERSON

AN ADVENT DEVOTIONAL

STERLING EDWARDS

From houses decorated with lights and inflatables, to festive and varied treats on the table, to baking cookies and setting up the tree, Christmas in America is an extravaganza. The sights, sounds and smells of the Christmas season leave lasting memories for all.

And yet, you can have all these things and not have Jesus. What are Christians to do with this? Should we abandon the tradition and trappings of the season to focus on Jesus? Or is there a way to enjoy the season, and not merely enjoy it, but center the celebration and our reason for hope and joy on Him?

In Hope is a Person, Sterling Edwards shares his own personal experiences from Christmases past. In 25 daily devotionals, Edwards recounts joyful celebrations, disappointment, suffering, giving and receiving and how to think about it all. He invites us to enjoy God’s good gifts in their varied forms, trust in Him as the gift giver and fully receive, remember and worship the life-giving and hope-producing gift of His Son Jesus.
