This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God sent a baby. It is an often-repeated pattern in the Bible―early intimations of the birth of God's own Son―the final word of God to his people. When people called upon God for justice, deliverance, healing, and restoration, God sent a baby. Many of these babies foreshadowed the life and ministry of Jesus Christ―a picture, on a human scale, of the baby who would come one day to rescue and save us all. While these babies grew up to be men who were limited in their power and their righteousness, they hint at the holy and all-powerful Son of God. Babies like Seth, Isaac, Moses, Samuel, Solomon, and John anticipated the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ. They foretold something of his ministry and his kingdom. This advent devotional is all about the babies―wonderful gifts from the Father! And it's all about the birth of the baby who came to deliver us all: Jesus, our blessed redeemer! December 1 through December 25, each daily advent reading is followed by reflection questions and ample room to journal a personal response.

Father Greg draws on his love for the saints to offer us daily inspiration during this season of preparation.

This perennial Advent resource will become part of your preparation for Christmas year after year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During this Advent, take a 25-day journey throughout December exploring the Old Testament promises of the birth of The Promised Seed. You will discover details of His identity, His life, His passion and His birth. And see how all these promises were fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament. This Christmas, use the Advent season to gather your family together and grow in your knowledge and love of our glorious Savior. Also included are suggested prayer topics and songs that relate to each day's reading so that families can sing and worship together. Let this Christmas be a time of joyous celebration for The Promised Seed. "Family devotionals can sometimes evolve into an Aesop-like moralism. Often parents don't know how to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ when taking their children through the whole counsel of God. Mickey McBrayer's advent curriculum will help you to see Christmas for what it really is, a celebration of our Lord Jesus fulfilling every promise made to us." Russell D. Moore, Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, USA "Since Jesus' entrance into the world was in the context and embrace of a family, The Promised Seed brings the story of the advent and incarnation back into that original setting. Like Jesus, this book can enter into the most humble home and heart and bring to life the story that has changed the world. Designed to unite families around the story of Christmas, The Promised Seed provides a focused beam of light on the inspired text of Scripture in an exciting and easily accessible manner. Dr. McBrayer has done a service to the family and the family of God through this unique devotional study. I heartily commend it to all Christian parents who dare to point their children to the real Star of Bethlehem instead of a sleigh from the North Pole." Hershael W. York, Victor and Louise Lester Professor of Christian Preaching, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, USA "The nostalgic carol may have you singing about a white Christmas, but what you may be in need of is a right Christmas. Dr. Mickey McBrayer has written a masterpiece that can enable you to experience the best time of the year by celebrating the season the way it was intended. This 25-Day Devotional exposes Jesus' irresistible humanity and irrefutable deity by revealing truth! What a gift!" Pastor Tim L. Nobles, First Baptist Church, Brunswick, Georgia, USA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith
