The Dawning of Indestructible Joy: Daily Readings for Advent

Book Description

The Christmas season is one of the busiest times of the year. But it is also a season of reflection and preparation for that special day when we mark Immanuel's coming - the arrival of our eternal God in our own frail humanity.

This is the greatest of history's many wonders, something to stupendous to celebrate on just one day. Advent is the way of lengthening and intensifying the joy of Christmas.

These 25 brief devotional readings from John Piper begin on December 1 and carry us to Christmas Day. Our hope is that God would use these meditations to deepen and sweeten your adoration of Jesus and help you keep him at the center of your Christmas season.
