The Sinner / Saint Devotional

Oftentimes, the contemporary Christian knows little about Advent and the ultimate goal of Christmas. Many see the season as a time to reflect on what Jesus did long ago or to consume. Journey with Kathy Morales and Kyle G. Jones as they masterfully walk you through the Christian calendar for four weeks of Advent and then Christmas. Showing how Christ is for you. Uniquely. Particularly. Continuously. FLAME, Grammy Nominated Christian Rap Artist Christians often take the bait the devil sets during the holiday season. They point out, with righteous indignation, the societal ills of the season like shallow materialism and political correctness. The devil smiles at this because Christ is reduced to a soundbite or a pawn in a cultural war. The devil smirks because the sinner is left with law upon law. What the sinner actually needs is what Morales and Jones provide in this devotional, Christ. Christ in a manger. Christ on the cross. Christ on the page. Christ in ears. Christ for the sinner. Christ for you. Rev. Dr. Michael Berg Assistant Professor of Theology Wisconsin Lutheran College Kathy and Kyle have given us a gift. This devotional is a beautiful invitation to slow down and be present during the final chaotic weeks of another year. These pages help us to wait with hope as we digest the slowness of God and the quick love He has for us. I cannot recommend this enough. - Tanner Olson Founder, Written to Speak My sinful nature thinks this is a terrible devotional because it doesn't point me to myself. Every devotion is centered on Jesus and only Him and His work to save us! The saint in me, however, loves this devotional for that same reason! There's no fluff: just all Jesus and His work for us, lovingly portrayed against the backdrop of the Advent and Christmas seasons. I'll be recommending it to the congregation I serve for sure!
