Summary: Come, let us adore him. 

This beloved Advent refrain captures the heart of the season. Advent is for adoring Jesus. It is a season of preparation to ready our hearts for the glory of Christmas Day as we celebrate the coming of the eternal God in our frail humanity. These twenty-five short devotional readings from John Piper aim to help you keep Christ at the center of the Advent season.

Good News of Great Joy

Looking for a new Advent devotional for this year? This one is by the popular Christian author John Piper. After the foreword and introduction there is a short devotional for 25 days. Each day starts with a Bible quote and then a page or two of reflection related to Christmas. Not everyone has time for a long devotional so this is a good one if you are strapped for time.

The devotionals are easy to read and understand. They cover the things you probably already know about but could use a reminder about during this season. These devotionals are pretty simple and so would work as a family devotional if your children are ages 10+.
