[Ramona · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great study to cover over three weeks leading up to Christmas. Rick Warren developed this study that follows his book, The Purpose of Christmas, and he shares his thoughts through watching a DVD with Week One covering A Time for Celebration, Week Two covering A Time for Salvation and Week Three covering A Time for Reconciliation. Can be used individually, with family or in a bible study group. Husband & I studied with our Connections Bible Study Group leading up to Christmas & really enjoyed our discussion. There are questions to consider, places to record personal & group prayers & other guidelines for "Living on Purpose: Ministry," and "Putting It Into Practice."
