Contents: Author: Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio and the Bible teacher at Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world. He graduated from theological college in London and served two churches in Scotland before moving to Ohio. He is married to Susan, and they have three grown children. Endorsements: If it looks like a Christmas book and if it sounds like a Christmas book, then it surely must be a Christmas book! But it's even more than that. Let Earth Receive Her King shows us how the Christmas story explains God's purposes from the dawn of time to the end of history. And it wouldn't be an Alistair Begg book if it didn't also show us how that story provides answers to the deepest needs of our hearts. Reading these pages will surely help all of us have a better Christmas. But I for one wouldn't be surprised if it helps some readers have their best Christmas ever. In this just-right book for daily reading during the Advent season, Alistair Begg presents the compelling story of the need for Jesus, the coming of Jesus, and the beauty of Jesus that runs from Genesis to Revelation. There's no better or more faithful companion than Alistair Begg to widen your gaze and deepen your understanding so that you will be glad to 'prepare Him room.' These devotions are full of scriptural insight and refreshment that will enhance and enrich your Christmas season.
