If we were in denial before, now that the clocks have turned back and we’ve welcomed November, we can’t be any longer—the holidays are upon us!
My book club choice for this month is something I hope will help soothe your soul as the stress of the season unfolds;
A Christmas Carol Devotional, by Rachel Dodge.
This 25-day Advent devotional journeys through one of the world’s most beloved Christmas stories, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, and helps you honor Christmas in your heart—and keep it all year! In this devotional companion to the cherished classic, you’ll walk alongside Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim as you explore the many spiritual lessons tucked into the story.
Dickens’s timeless themes of redemption, generosity, and community will help you prepare your heart for Christmas and reflect on all God has done, is doing, and is preparing to do in your life.
Each daily entry includes a key scripture, a retelling of part of the story, a personal reflection, and a short prayer. Filled with beautiful line-art illustrations, A Christmas Carol Devotional: 25 Advent Reflections from Charles Dickens’s Beloved Classic will help you slow down and draw near to Christ during the busy Christmas season.
This beautiful little hard-bound, gilded book is the perfect size for gift giving, and I’ve ordered several copies to give out over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Don’t wait until Christmas to get yours and a few more for all those you’d like to see have a little more peace-on-earth in the midst of the holiday chaos.
