God with Us

Advent is a season of anticipation and preparation – a time to look forward to the coming of Christ and reflect on the world forever changed by his birth. In ‘God With Us’, J.John invites you to journey through Advent with 25 insightful reflections, each one exploring the Christmas story from a fresh perspective. Beginning with the ancestors and moving through the experiences of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the Magi, these meditations draw us into the wonder of the Nativity. Alongside the familiar, J.John introduces voices we might not expect – from Caesar Augustus to a midwife, from Herod the Great to the clergy – showing how the birth of Jesus touched every corner of society. The reflections culminate with a powerful and personal question: ‘What does the coming of Jesus mean for you?’Written with warmth, clarity and depth, this devotional helps readers slow down and rediscover the joy, hope and challenge of the Advent season. Each day’s reading is designed to inspire reflection and transformation, reminding us that just as Christ’s coming changed the world two thousand years ago, so too his presence can change our lives today.Beautifully presented, ‘God With Us’ is ideal for personal devotion, family reading or use in small groups. It also makes a thoughtful seasonal gift, pointing us back to the heart of Christmas: the life-changing reality that God is with us.
