Our Long-Expected Gift: A Jesse Tree Advent

Our Long-Expected Gift: A Jesse Tree Advent by Julie Owen Meyer. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780578269238.

Our Long-Expected Gift is a Christmas Devotional based on the Jesse Tree Advent. There is a short story in poem form for each day in December. The stories are taken right out of the Bible, starting with creation in Genesis and ending with Jesuss birth in the New Testament. Each poem reflects how Jesus, our Long-Expected Gift, was Gods plan from the very beginning. Many of the stories foreshadow Jesuss birth, and they also trace His heritage and redemptive plan throughout all of Scripture. This book is meant to help bring Jesus back into focus during the Christmas season. It is meant to give families a reason to stop, to sit, and to listen to Gods Christmas story. Scripture, poems, and extraordinary watercolors are all wrapped up into this beautifully designed coffee table book, which makes it as pleasing to the eye as it is to the heart.
