Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Promise of Christmas is Jesus
Jack Countryman · 2012
75/100
👍 Worth It
Countryman traces the thread of Christ's promised coming from Genesis all the way through to eternity in just 30 two-page readings — that's an ambitious sweep for a 64-page gift book, and readers say the Scripture selections and reflective questions actually land. It's brief enough that theologically hungry readers may want more, but for a busy Advent season it does exactly what it promises.
