Each year, I search out a new Advent devotional to focus my heart and mind during the Christmas season. This summer, I purchased Ruchti's latest, The Spirit of Christmas. Everything about this devotional was well thought out and beautiful. From the cover design to the interior design, from the featured Scripture passages to Advent prayers, and from the author's touching words to the additional notes and resources for supplementary reading, activity, and devotion time, this is a purposeful way of getting into the spirit of Christmas.
The Spirit of Christmas leads us to think of the third member of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. It shows the reader how the presence of the Holy Spirit was there long before Gabriel's announcement to Mary that she was chosen to bring God's Son to the world. It tells the story of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament and the New Testament. This devotional connects dots throughout Scripture that provoke new thoughts and new ideas on how to approach a story we feel we are familiar with. It will touch your heart and mind, uplifting you during a season of love, joy, and peace.
Soon, the Christmas season will be over, but give yourself a chance to experience The Spirit of Christmas early or make sure you have a copy on hand to prepare for next Christmas. It is always the right time to explore the presence of the Holy Spirit.
