Rediscovering the Magic of Christmas: An Advent Adventure from Genesis to Revelation - Hardcover

by John Hayward (Author)

"A marvellous grasp of the interrelated texts of Scripture, showing how they point to and amplify our understanding of the arrival of Christ."
Dr Tim Savage, The Gospel Coalition

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.
