The Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence Throughout the Advent Season

When we think of the first Christmas, we often focus on the wide-eyed young mother and her faithful fiancé, on tattered shepherds and singing angels and road-weary wise men. But the Holy Spirit was there—and just as He hovered over the waters in the beginning, He hovers over every page of the Christmas story.

This Advent, join acclaimed author Cynthia Ruchti for a faith-building, eye-opening walk with the Holy Spirit. Highlighting the power and presence of the Spirit at work in the sacred story, each entry of this twenty-six-day devotional contains core verses on the Spirit's role in the narrative of Scripture; devotional thoughts perfect for the whole family; often overlooked details that will change the way you see and understand the Christmas story; practical application with optional projects to help you prepare and celebrate; and an Advent prayer.

Before the babe was conceived, the Holy Spirit was already at work, setting the stage and preparing the hearts of the biblical characters we know and love. This season, let Him set the stage and prepare your heart too.
