Prophets and Promises:
Devotions for Advent & Christmas
2022 - 2023

by Richard J. (Dick) Bruesehoff, Laura R. Holck, Lydia Posselt, Harvard Stephens Jr., and Troy M. Troftgruben

In ancient times prophets announced God’s promises of a deliverer to the Hebrew people. As you read this devotional, look for these ancient promises, even in the Gospel of Matthew. Also watch for the different ways in which Joseph, the magi, and King Herod respond to the arrival of Jesus. Marvel at the power of God’s promises, and the mystery of God with us in a newborn child.

Prophets and Promises continues the Christian tradition of setting aside time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth and to anticipate his return. The Advent season of preparation then unfolds in the joy of the twelve days of Christmas and the day of Epiphany. You will find daily devotions here for the first Sunday of Advent (November 27, 2022) through Epiphany (January 6, 2023). Each devotion features a scripture reading (many from Matthew), accompanied by a photo, a quote to ponder, a reflection, and a prayer. The book also offers household blessings and prayers (see pages 86–94) to enrich your preparations and celebrations.

May God’s lasting promises give you hope, and the good news of Emmanuel’s birth fill you with wonder and peace!

Also available in Large Print and as an ebook (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and Google Play)
