This Christmas, discover the gift of Jesus and what He means for your life. What if, in accepting this most precious gift, you are met with His grace and mercy and His peaceful presence? In the midst of chaotic holiday preparations, The Gift of Jesus will remind you that Christmas is a season of joy and renewal.

In The Gift of Jesus, beloved pastor and teacher Dr. Charles Stanley takes a deeply personal and inspiring look at how God gave us Himself through the birth of Christ. When He sent Jesus, He closed the separation between us, showing Himself to be intimately involved in every detail that concerns us. This book will usher you into Jesus’ presence, reveal His compassionate heart, and help you treasure the best parts of the Advent season. In this book of Christmas meditations, you will:

• See the Christmas story and God’s precious gift for you with fresh eyes
• Find the calm in the chaos
• Carve out time for reflection, prayer, and Scripture readings
• Know that Jesus is walking with you, whatever you’re facing this Christmas season

If you’re searching for comfort and direction or if you’d like to embrace together with your loved ones the significance of Christ’s birth, come worship the One who gave everything to walk with you each step of the way.

Each entry in The Gift of Jesus includes:

• A thoughtful meditation to illuminate the story of Christ’s birth
• Guided journaling questions with room to write your thoughts
• A “Gift for Today” statement to inspire you throughout the day
• Lyrics to a beautiful seasonal hymn
• This Christmas season, reflect on the gift of Jesus and all He wants to be in your life.

The wondrous plan of the Christmas story started long, long ago. . . . The prophets knew, Mary and Joseph knew, the angels knew, the wise men knew . . . and now we know too!

Christmas is for celebrating Jesus, God’s greatest gift to the world. While Christmas excitement often focuses on hanging lights, opening gifts, and decorating trees, Christmas Is Coming! offers a different—and true—reason for our joy and celebration. Designed to be read and reread during the days leading up to Christmas, the story lets children ages 2–6 listen with wonder and anticipation as the story of God’s plan for Jesus’ arrival unfolds.

What Christian isn’t hungering for revival? Not just an emotional display of faith, but a revival that changes lives, renews churches, and can even change history. Such revivals as the Great Awakening, the Welsh Revival, and the Jesus Movement have earned their place in church history and are evidence that God is still alive and active. Even smaller revivals such as the recent revival at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, caught the attention of the world as upwards of fifty thousand Christians traveled to the college campus to witness this move of God. The recent movie, The Jesus Revolution was a surprise success at the box office as, once again, Christians flocked to hear about revival.

Make no mistake, there is a worldwide hunger for revival, and especially so among American Christians. The great news is that every Christian has a part to play in bringing about revival. That part is first, last, and always prayer. Revivals are born from prayer. But will Christians pray? Do they really want revival? If recent events are indications of that fresh hunger for God in our midst, then the answer is a resounding yes!

With daily Scripture readings, reflections, prayer prompts, and quotes from classic Christian leaders, this 365-day guide will aid you in your quest to experience both personal and widespread revival through persistent prayer.

Yes, revival is on its way. Will you be one of the prayer warriors to usher in this next great move of God?
