Advent 2022: Joy of Every Longing Heart | Women's Reading Guide

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” —Revelation 1:8 “Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free.” These words from a beloved hymn capture the heart of Advent: longing, waiting, expectation. From the very beginning, Scripture builds our anticipation of our Savior—God Himself—who would dwell among His people and set them free from sin and death. In this five-week Advent experience we will celebrate Jesus’s first coming as the baby born in Bethlehem and anticipate His second as the glorious King over all. This Study Book features daily Scripture reading that follows the themes found in each lyric of “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus.” It is also filled with thoughtful features designed to help you engage as people in waiting, including daily reflection prompts, recipes, crafts, Christmas hymns, and more! Join us this Advent as we celebrate and contemplate Jesus, the One who has come and will come again. - 8” x 10”, perfect bound, 192 pages - 36 days (5 weeks) of Scripture readings—right there in the book - An introduction to the season of Advent - A holiday calendar to guide your rhythms and celebration this Advent season - An exploration of songs in Scripture - A reflection on the Trinity - A gift guide from the past - A look at the key seasons on the Church calendar corresponding to Advent - Definitions of unique words in the Christmas story - A reflection for Christmas Day - Daily reflection prompts and questions - 3 holiday recipes - 2 craft tutorials - Four holiday hymns - Space for reflecting on 2022 and anticipating the new year To shop more Advent 2022, click here!
