"From the first chapter I was hooked! Who begins a Christmas devotional with a seeing donkey? Catherine does and she keeps our attention and stirs our imagination all the way to the dawning of a new day." -- Alistair Begg, Senior Pastor at Parkside Church, USA, and author of Truth For Life "With engaging stories and profound insights from Scripture, Catherine gently rubs away the tarnish of familiarity so that the wonder of God fulfilling his promises by becoming human shimmers with fresh invitations to astonishment and worship. Prepare to be comforted, challenged, and renewed in joy as you journey with Jesus into the great adventure of his birth." -- Sharon Garlough Brown, author and speaker "This is an enchanting Advent calendar in words that leads us to Christmas in all its wonder. Every meditation is thoughtful and fresh, reverent and relevant. Some take us deep into the great truths of Christmas, others focus on illuminating incidentals: all are a delight." -- J. John, minister, speaker, broadcaster and author
