Synopsis

Fresh insights come to life for Advent from the pen of Eugene Peterson, as his translation The Message is used as the base text for this series of daily devotionals during the Christmas season. From the text of The Message, the author uses two-word titles to frame each of the topics. The story of Jesus Christ is the greatest story ever told, and his remarkable entry into the world sets him apart as the most special baby ever born. Join in this journey on the consternation of his parents, the emergence of the star-scholars, the proclamation of his birth to shepherds, the visits of the angel Gabriel, the fulfillment of the prophecies of his birth, the attempts of madman Herod to kill him, and the events surrounding the birth of his cousin, John the Baptist. All of these and more are breath-taking pieces of the story of the birth of Jesus. Peterson’s unique turn-of-phrase and the author’s commentary combine for a fresh look at an ancient story, one whose impact is still relevant for today.
