Advent Chai with Malachi: A Devotional for Advent

by Sandra L. Glahn, Students at Dallas Theological Seminary, Alyssa Luff (Editor)

The Book of Malachi in the Hebrew Bible is the source of a famous line from “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”: “Ris’n with healing in his wings.” The prophet Malachi pointed his readers in hope to the first Advent, or coming, of the Messiah. And thousands of years later, Advent Chai with Malachi helps readers look back to Jesus Christ and forward to his return. This book, which readers can use either individually or with a group, serves as a guide for those seeking God through Scripture in the holy season preceding Christmas. The authors’ desire is for readers to “keep the main thing the main thing” during the days of anticipation. Many light a candle on a wreath each Sunday in Advent culminating in lighting of the Christ candle in the center of the wreath on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Included here are simple prayers and instructions for doing so as part of devotional reading for those who desire to do so.

3.5 stars. I didn’t receive this book in time to finish it during the Advent season, but after reading through it, I felt that it was perfectly fine for any time of year. With that said, Sandra Glahn has written a full study version of Chai with Malachi in her Coffee Cup Bible Study series, and I much preferred that version.
