This book is a lovely Advent companion. Suggests short daily bible readings along with a 2 page reflection.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the daily readings meaningful yet easy to get through, and I loved learning about the liturgical calendar (enough so I want to find out more about it).

This is a gorgeous Advent devotional. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because it did not tell me anything about the art that graces all its pages, nor did the devotional address the art. Also some of the art is thumbnail sized (not sure why) and others are sumptuously large. Each day the reader is provided with Scripture passages, devotional thoughts from some incredibly talented writers and poets, an art print, and a prayer. Sunday’s are given additional material as markers of the liturgical calendar. I loved the variety of artists represented, several new to me. All in all a worthy journey thru Advent.

This book is worthy of a re-read every Advent. The editors also have a Lenten version that I would love to have someday.

This is my favorite Advent devotional. I have the original hardcover edition. The pages are thick, glossy, and they perfectly set off the classic artwork inside. I love the variety of writers included - Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox; writers, poets, theologians. It's my second year going through it, and the essays help me focus my heart on Christ and truly prepare for Christmas.
