‘If you’ve read any of RC Sproul’s other books and have listened to one of his many sermons or series, then this book will feel like a familiar friend. It incorporates his usual wisdom and clarity as he explains detailed complexities of Christian doctrine in a very accessible way. It’s theologically rich, encouraging, and directs your focus on Christ. This is a small, but mighty book as it progresses slowly through the details and characters of the Christmas story. Each chapter includes Scripture at the beginning and ends with a prayer written by other great theologians such as Sinclair Ferguson, Tim Challies, Steven Lawson, and Joni Eareckson Tada. This devotional will be a permeant place in our home library and will be brought out year after year. It’s shallow enough to read with children and yet deep enough for mature Christians to wade through. It’s exactly what you’d come to love and expect from the great, late RC Sproul.’ Mallory
