Born a Child and Yet a King by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth — Carrying songs—and Jesus—in your heart the whole Christmas season.

We know the songs of Christmas like we know the rooms of our house or the placement of our Christmas tree. One or two probably stand out for us as the epitome of how Christmas is supposed to sound. It’s not officially Christmas until we hear them.

As those familiar songs fill your home again this season, listen closely. They are telling a story, the story of Jesus—who He is and why He came.

Rediscover your favorite Christmas hymns this Advent season with Born a Child and Yet a King, an Advent devotional from Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. Spend thirty-one days tracing the gospel through your favorite carols and discover anew the awe of this season.

Each day’s reading will help guide your prayers, thoughts, and priorities so you may enjoy a deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ this Christmas!

Joy upon Joy by Charles Spurgeon — This advent devotional allows hassled Christians to daily redeem the busiest month of the year using seasonal reflections by the “Prince of Preachers,” Charles Spurgeon.

In the classic style of Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening,” each of the twenty-eight days contains a brief morning and evening devotional that begins with a Scripture and follows with a selection from Spurgeon’s advent-themed sermons.

This all-new compilation of Spurgeon’s works includes space for journaling and reflection. Experience the delight of loving December once again, and prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth alongside Spurgeon’s thought-provoking words.

Light of the World by Jonathan Griffiths —

Are you searching for something this Christmas?

Perhaps, like so many people, you are seeking meaning or peace or hope. Maybe you even wonder where Jesus Christ―the figure at the heart of Christmas―fits amongst it all.

The traditional image of a baby in a manger is a tender one but we miss out on the significance of Jesus if we reduce him to just one small part of the festivities.

The events of the first Christmas can bring us the light and life we all search for. This year, discover the profound impact Jesus’ story can have on your life.

Heaven and Nature Sing: 25 Advent Reflections to Bring Joy to the World by Hannah Anderson — “Joy to the world—the Lord has come!”

We sing these words every year, but what does it mean that the Creator came to his creation as a baby? How exactly does the “earth receive her King?”  What does it sound like when rocks, hills, floods, and plains echo his praise? And what would it mean for you to join in the chorus?

Heaven and Nature Sing invites you into a fresh reading of the Christmas story—one where earthy, overlooked things like snowflakes, trees, serpents, bodies, and swaddling bands reveal the glory of the Promised Son. Journeying from the first pages of Scripture to the last, you’ll experience the goodness of our Creator King and learn how the whole earth sings his praise.

So this Advent season, join Hannah Anderson as she guides you through 25 meditations on the natural elements of the Christmas story. Accompanied by Nathan Anderson’s distinctive artwork, the entries gradually move you from hope to faith to joy to peace. Find your soul renewed and your heart restored, and discover once again why heaven and nature sing.

The Coming of the King by J.C. Ryle — For most of us, Advent is synonymous with Christmas. After all, don’t our Advent calendars count down to December 25th? Isn’t Advent a time to think about the birth of the baby in the manger, the angels and the shepherd? It certainly is.

Advent means the coming of the special baby who was laid in a manger in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. But J.C. Ryle would also remind people of the ‘Second Advent’ when Jesus will come again. On that day, Jesus will return to our world, not as a baby but as the unmistakable King of kings and Lord of lords.
