Love Came Down at Christmas: Daily Readings for Advent

Book Description:

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 Ferguson brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity. We'll see what "love" looked like in the life of Christ and be challenged to love like him.

Each day's reading finishes with a question for reflection and a prayer. However you're feeling-weary or frantic, lonely or lovesick-your heart will be refreshed as you wonder again at the truth that love came down at Christmas.
