Daily advent readings from John chapter 1 to inspire you as you approach Christmas.
We may be familiar with the baby in the manger, but have you met the Word who was in the beginning with God? Have you met the One True Light who is full of grace and truth? Or the Cosmic Lord who won the right for people to become Children of God? They are one and the same person.
Join Tim Chester as he guides us through the opening verses of the Gospel of John, and enjoy a Christmas infused with new meaning and light.
With ideas for reflection, prayer and application, these short, meditative readings will excite you about Jesus in the busyness of the run up to Christmas Day.

As church leaders, we decided to get these for each of our church families to read together each day of advent. We have all enjoyed the time spent reading what Tim Chester has put together from John's Gospel to focus our gaze on our coming Emmanuel and Saviour as a church this Christmas. This little book is great for the individual and families.

We bought this on recommendation from a friend as a home-group daily reading this Advent and it has been well received. Chester links the passage wonderfully to the rest of the bible to draw out different aspects of the Saviour, and His relationship with the rest of the godhead and with us. We benefitted from it as believers but Chester has written it so that non-believers can read and understand too. So helpful.

We studied this is a house group December 2017, and we have found it truly wonderful. Tim writes in an easy to read style, with the chapter per day being not too long to keep up in the busy life that is December. Two main things came out of the study: truly understanding the iconic word that is John 1, that we’ve heard so often over the years but if we’re honest been slightly confused by! And secondly Tim brings alive the lyrics from many classic Christmas Carols, the words we have just belted out for years now have true ...meaning. So advent is so much more than calendars and a countdown.
