Each Gospel, in its own way, leads us on the Advent journey of
preparation for Christ’s coming. Awaiting the Already, originally released in 2015, takes a tour through the four
Gospel narratives that announce Christ’s birth or make way for his
ministry. Readers will discover what parts of the Christmas story come
from which Gospel, recognizing an invitation from each Gospel writer to
prepare for a fresh experience of Christ in the past and the future.



This thematic Bible study is designed to be used by individuals and
small groups during Advent. In addition to the main content, each
chapter offers questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer,
and a focus for the week. The weekly focus emerges from the chapter
content and encourages the readers to engage a spiritual practice or do
something specific that will help them grow in faith. The thematic
seasonal Bible study series is designed for transformation and for
applying the study of the Bible to everyday, practical life experience.
It is intended to nurture and encourage faith development and spiritual
growth during the season of Advent.
