Book Review: The Wonder of Advent




Interesting? Check.
Short entries? Check.
Deep questions? Check.
Helping the reader to focus on the true reason for the Advent season? Check.

This is an excellent little devotional! There are two sections: Preparation (November 24-30), and Advent (December 1-31). Each day's entry contains a Bible verse, about 5 paragraphs of the devotion, and a few questions for reflection. The Advent section adds a passage for further reflection and a few lines of a corresponding hymn. 

Here's an example: The first day in the devotional quotes Philippians 2:7 and then discusses the meaning of the Incarnation. The two questions for reflection are:

"How does God becoming flesh redeem the human race?"
"What do you think the Incarnation was like for Jesus?"

All in all, a great little book!
