The Joy of Jesus: 25 Devotional Readings for Christmas

Experience the joy of Christmas in this 25–day Advent devotional

Josh Moody invites readers to spend the advent season meditating on the joy offered in the coming of Jesus Christ, and looking forward to the day of his second coming!

This book will help you cultivate a joyful sense of wonder. It also functions as a prayerful to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas, at its most basic, is about the gift of Christ to save us from our sins. It speaks of the humility of God. It speaks of the grace of God. It speaks of the peace of God. It speaks of the beauty of the Savior in his infant lowliness reaching down to lift us to his divine loftiness. It means that anyone—anyone from any background, culture or socio–economic bracket, anyone at all, no matter what they have done or said or thought—may rejoice this Christmas!

With daily Bible readings from the books of Matthew and Luke, and rounded off with a daily carol, take time out of the busyness of the Christmas season to allow your heart and soul to be filled with Christ and see his glory.

If you are looking for a wonderful Christmas devotional this December, here's a great option to take you daily from December 1 through Christmas Day.
It's a beautiful and unique format using Scripture, Christmas carols/hymns, and a short devotional. The author's wife, who is wonderfully creative, chose the texts many years ago, he then wrote the devotionals, and it's great to use with a family, for personal use, or to give as gifts.
