The Christmas Code: Daily Devotions Celebrating the Advent Season (The Code Series)

Bring the peace and joy of Advent home to your heart this Christmas.

Grow close to the Lord this Advent season with 25 insightful and meaningful devotions from bestselling author O. S. Hawkins. The Christmas Code traces the birth of Jesus from its roots in the Old Testament to the ultimate gift of God: salvation. With a short devotion each day leading up to Christmas, this seasonal devotional is the perfect way to maintain a daily focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

In the middle of the hectic rush that has become our Christmas season, we often feel ourselves drifting away from the sacred meaning at the heart of the holiday. The Christmas Code, a 25-day Advent devotional, reminds you that God's greatest gift—His precious Son—is at the very heart of Advent.

Each devotion includes a:

• Scripture passage to help focus your mind on God's Word.
• Devotional thought to inspire you and fix your heart on the true meaning of Christmas
• Code Word to ponder and meditate on throughout the day to help unlock the blessings of each reading
• Prayer of reflection to align your heart with God's

The Christmas Code is an affordable and effective ministry resource that can easily be gifted to Bible study groups, worship teams, church gatherings, neighbors, or loved ones in celebration of Advent. This booklet fits easily into a purse, travel bag, backpack, or postal mailer.
