jaymamatay5 Stars Out Of 5Do You Want a Meaningful Christmas?November 16, 2014jaymamatayEvery year I try not to get caught up in all the commercialism and business of Christmas and try to experience the true meaning and peace of the season and every year I fail. This book helped me, for the first time in a long time, have a peace filled, meaningful Christmas. It is a beautiful book and makes a wonderful gift.

The Greatest Gift is an Advent devotional pointing the reader to Gods abundant love for us by tracing the ancestry of Jesus. It is so deep that I am re-reading it in January and will read it again next Advent. I have also bought three more copies as gifts!

Amy BAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Beautiful and CompleteDecember 2, 2013Amy BAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Ann takes us back to the beginning--the very beginning, where humans were created in the image and likeness of God. She unwinds the story of pain, the story of the fall. She takes you through the dawns of evil, reveals the depths of the depravity, realizes the desperation for a Savior.
She shows the goodness of God. The holiness of the Maker. The graciousness of the Father.
I loved the way that this Advent devotional was written. Truly beginning at the very beginning, showing the desperate need of humankind for a Savior before the miraculous event of God taking on flesh.
The Gospel glows throughout this book. Ann reveals and stresses through her poetic, real, and encouraging prose that Christmas was the means to usher in the true redemption. That Jesus was born to die, to give us life. But because He is God, the chains of death could not hold Him. He rose again, and gave us victory.
Christmas is beginning of the life--the promise fulfilled. Immanuel, "God with Us".
I highly recommend this devotional. The sweetness of the Gospel, the holiness of such an oft commercialized event--this devotional helps it all to come into perspective.
I adored the style of the formatting. The graphic design, the fonts, the colors--the peaceful art appropriate to its message.
Each devotional begins with a scriptural reading, followed by Ann's encouraging words on the particular passage. The following remaining pages for the day feature a quote appropriate to the day's topic and a few questions for pondering with blank lines on which to write out your own thoughts.
I am grateful to Tyndale House Publishers for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
