God Bless Us, Every OneEncountering Christ in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas CarolBy Michael HoyReflect on passages from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in a way that ties the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge to our journey of faith. In the same way that Scrooge moves from crusty curmudgeon to kindhearted gentleman, revealed most clearly in his change of heart toward Tiny Tim, so we move from enemies of God to friends through the birth of the Lord Jesus, who came to save us from our past and present that we might be blessed in all our future days. 32 pages • 5⅜" x 8⅜" • Code GB5

Waiting in the LightDaily Prayers for AdventBy Steve GivensSometimes, Advent can seem like a dark and dreary time of year.

In Waiting in the Light, author Steve Givens provides an inspiring prayer, accompanied by Scripture, for each day of the season. Being attentive to prayer and God’s Word allows us to see the light shining through the darkness. Through prayer and reflection, we see Jesus, the Light of the World, this Christmas.32 pages • 3⅞" x 5½ • Code WL4

CHILDREN’S DEVOTIONS AND ACTIVITIESHis Name Is Jesus!A Family Advent Book of Jesus’ NamesBy David and Arden Mead“You will name him Jesus,” the angel told Mary and Joseph—the name we still use most often for our dear Savior. The Bible tells us that Jesus has other names, too, lots of them, and all of those names have special meanings. They help us know who Jesus is and what he does for us. Children learn a new name for Jesus each day of Adventl. When Christmas arrives, sing “Happy Birthday” to … the one whose name is greater than all other names.
