Family
devotions can be hard to schedule and plan--and doing so in a
meaningful way can be especially difficult during the days and weeks
leading up to Christmas. As you guide your family through this season, Anticipating His Arrival
helps you and your family remember his first advent on Christmas and
prepare for his second coming, celebrating and anticipating both events.
Each day's Scripture reading includes discussion questions with
accompanying responses to make it easy for you to engage the themes of
preparation, anticipation, joy, and incarnation throughout the season of
Advent. The reading schedule--which begins the first Sunday of Advent
and ends on Christmas Day--has been adapted from the Revised Common
Lectionary and includes devotions for all three years in the liturgical
cycle, with every year drawing on the Synoptic Gospels.
