Overview

Each Christmas, we tend to hear the same readings and, let's be honest, the same sermons. This Advent, join John Hayward on a daily journey to rediscover some of the magic of Christmas. Originally written as letters from a father to his adult children, this book warmly invites you to feast richly on some of the passages of scripture less commonly associated with our celebrations of the birth of Jesus. Released from the burden of tradition and over-familiarity, glimpse afresh the authentic Christmas gift that is for every person, for every nation and for every day.

"""A marvellous grasp of the interrelated texts of Scripture, showing how they point to and amplify our understanding of the arrival of Christ. Tracing the theme of life in the salvation history of the Bible, a theme neglected, I think, in sermons and biblical literature, but absolutely central (and thrilling). John writes elegantly and engagingly, stimulating my interest, which is not an easy accomplishment!!"" -- Dr Tim Savage, founding council member of The Gospel Coalition and former senior pastor of Camelback Bible Church, Arizona ""This is a refreshing Christmas read. It is written intelligently and with a good focus on the great story lines of Scripture. I don't know of anything comparable."" -- Dr Dirk Jongkind, Academic Vice Principal and Senior Research Fellow in New Testament text and language at Tyndale House, Cambridge."
