Bought this devotional book for my son. He was pleased with it and is going to use it come the start of Advent.

Have only glanced so far as I'm saving it for Advent, of course! At first glance it seems to be a book with challenging ideas as we approach the anniversary of Christ's birth.

A helpful and informative book.
