God Bless Us, Every One!
by Hoy, Michael
Reflect on passages from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens in a way that ties the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge to our journey of faith. In the same way that Scrooge moves from crusty curmudgeon to kindhearted gentleman, revealed most clearly in his change of heart toward Tiny Tim, so we move from enemies of God to friends through the birth of the Lord Jesus, who came to save us from our past and present that we might be blessed in all our future days.

What Do You Want for Christmas
An Advent Study for Adults
by Moore, James W.
“What do you want for Christmas?” It’s a question that gets asked often as the holiday season approaches and Christmas draws near. And if we’re honest, much of the time when we think about how we would answer that question, we have material things on our mind.
Author James W. Moore invites you to explore the question on a deeper level. Deep down, what do you really want for Christmas? Does your heart long for the gifts the Christ child brings―the type of gifts that money can’t buy?
This four-week study, appropriate for both group and individual use, provides an introduction and one lesson for each week of Advent. Each lesson includes a reference to a key passage of Scripture, a brief reflection, study / discussion questions, a brief prayer, and a focus for the coming week.

Case for Christmas
A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger
by Srobel, Lee
Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. Who was he—really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger. Join him as he asks the tough, pointed questions you’d expect from an award-winning legal journalist. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there ought to be credible evidence, including Eyewitness Evidence—Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted? Scientific Evidence—What does archaeology reveal? Profile Evidence—Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God? Fingerprint Evidence—Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah? The Case for Christmas invites you to consider why Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth. It may be more compelling than you’ve realized. Weigh the facts . . . and decide for yourself.
