What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Deepen your faith this Advent.
In the busyness of the holiday season, it’s easy to neglect what really matters: reflecting on the glory of Jesus. We want to pray more – to spend time with God – but the tyranny of the urgent leaves us distracted and depleted.
In this 25-day devotional, pastor and author Rich Villodas guides you through reflections, prayers and prompts to help you slow down, connect with God and rediscover peace this Advent season. Each day offers space for personal reflection, preparing your heart for Jesus’s arrival and culminating in a final devotional on Christmas Day.
Each day in this devotional features a short reflection from Rich, followed by a four-fold rhythm:
- Silence and prayer: Pause for a few moments. Take a breath. Rest.
- Scripture: Read a short passage about the wonder of Jesus.
- Quotes: Read short, inspiring thoughts from Christians through the ages.
- Self-reflection: Bring your full self to God and enjoy his presence.
As you journey with Rich Villodas through Advent, reclaim joy as you behold the wondrous love of God this Christmas.
