By Hannah Anderson

I think I saw Let Heaven and Nature Sing on a book award and picked it up on a whim. I’m glad I did! Anderson weaves together reflections on nature and the nativity with beautiful writing. It was one of my most recommended books last year.

Soteria’s very own Josh Byers has been producing delightful Advent resources for years. This year, he has a beautifully illustrated coloring book that teaches the gospel themes of holiness, sin, salvation, and faith. Weekly coloring sheets are available for free at our Welcome Desk. You can buy the coloring book and other great resources from Visual Theology.

When parents ask me for Advent resources, I always ask, “Have you read Jotham’s Journey yet?” Years ago, my friends Sherry and Troy recommended this series. We’ve read most of the series at least twice in the last decade. Jotham’s Journey (or one of the other three Advent stories) are action-packed stories that follow the road to Bethlehem. Note: they do contain violence, so the publisher recommends the series for eight-year-olds and above.

By Jonathan Gibson

O Come, O Come Emmanuel is a daily worship guide to lead you through Advent. Gibson compiled reflections from great Christian minds, prayers, catechisms, and even creeds. When I first began using Gibson’s books as part of my devotional life, I didn’t know what to make of it. Recite a creed? Read a prayer? I eventually came to appreciate and even look forward to the gospel rhythm of historic worship.

By Paul David Tripp

Our bookstore has 50 free copies of this devotional, courtesy of the publisher. While I haven’t read it yet, I have no doubt it’s full of gospel riches.
