The One True Gift

Erik Raymond

The Christmas season can often be characterized by a time of increase: a frenzied pace, material splurges, and even personal grumbling. What often gets drowned out is a quiet and refreshing contemplation of timeless truth. In this short but accessible series of Advent devotions, Tim Chester invites us to go from muttering to marveling this Christmas by considering the most compelling man who ever lived, Jesus Christ.

Rich in biblical truth and robust in its theology, The One True Gift is a treasure you’ll want to enjoy this Advent season (or any time, really). Tim does a magnificent work in lifting our eyes to the God-man, Jesus Christ, helping us apply his incarnation, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and glorious return to our daily experience. Take this devotional slowly; there’s so much to see and savor in its pages!

“An inspiring book in preparation for Advent”

I found this book had a slightly different approach as Tim Chester based each daily passage of readings on verses from Philippians which summarised thought provoking aspects of the nature and affect of Christ’s Birth as a Babe in a lowly manger, rather than a set of passages directly describing different stages of th actual historical story. The Biblical story was there so well described.

“Fabulous”

Bought this book for myself and a friend so we could use it over advent and share our thoughts. It's been amazing and we've both found it challenging but encouraging to work through. Nearly finished now and can honestly say it's been fantastic.
