Rediscover the beloved Christmas story this year through the words of those who were there. From King Herod to the Magi, the Innkeeper, the midwife — and even Jesus himself — hear the dramatic stories of the Bible characters forever changed by the miracle that took place in Bethlehem so long ago. In the Advent devotional Season’s Greetings, meet 12 biblical characters — some well-known, others less so — who share what Christmas meant to them through personal letters written to 21st-century readers. As we hear the multiple perspectives of what Jesus’ birth and life meant for these characters of old, we’re invited to ask what it means for us, now, today. Each chapter ends with a prayer, reflection questions, and journaling prompts, making this new resource an enriching Advent companion for individuals, small groups, and church leaders alike.
