Synopsis

Celebrate the Best Thing About Christmas.

It's hard to say how it happens, but somehow, in the midst of all the good things we enjoy at Christmastime, Jesus Himself can sometimes get lost--even by those who love Him. But what a terrible loss! During this joyful season, this small book can help you refocus on Christ and prepare your heart for worship and adoration.

There are many ways to see Him: as Savior, as King, as Messiah, as Teacher, as Lord--. But among all the rich possibilities, these meditations turn the spotlight on the first of four momentous titles named in Isaiah's beloved passage:

For to us a child is born,
        to us a son is given,
        and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called,
        Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
        Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
                       --Isaiah 9:6

In Wonderful Counselor, you'll find fourteen brief meditations--one for each of the fourteen days leading up to Christmas--created to gently turn your thoughts toward our beloved Savior.
