In an ideal world, Advent would be spent in quiet contemplation, meditating upon the wonder of the Christ-child, and anticipating his return as our Saviour.
Instead, we enter arguably the busiest month of the year. Have we booked time off to see the kids’ Nativity play? What’s the Secret Santa budget? And who became a vegetarian this year?
Perhaps, though, it is this busyness which can be the key to a deeper connection with Christ. Perhaps these Christmas ‘trimmings’ have the potential to teach us more about God. And, as we open our hearts and minds, perhaps we will discover that the Christmas story was busier, messier and more haphazard than we ever imagined.
In this unique devotional, written for busy people, I help you to use the festivities around you to fix your eyes on Christ, deepening your relationship with the Father God who sent him. Born out of my own experiences of struggling to maintain any kind of spiritual focus throughout December, I offer gentle encouragement, empathy, entertainment and challenge as we delve into the Bible – and our busyness – together.

I bought Redeeming Advent last year and I (shamefully) only read a few days of it. I struggle to read is my only excuse but it’s not good enough really.
Anyway, this year I started it in November so that I didn’t feel the guilt that I put on myself when I miss a day of Devo time/Bible time and I read the whole thing. I looked forward to reading each day and often I’ve felt nervous to start.
When I realised I was up to page 70 I was ecstatic because a) I really don’t read well and that was a big number of pages for me lol and b) because through your book (and Jesus ofc) I felt more closer to Him than I have done for such a long time.
Thank you Lucy for writing a book that is so easy to understand, easy to read, genuine and so clearly Jesus inspired. This book doesn’t leave you feeling inadequate or discouraged but leaves you feeling encouraged to love Jesus, love others and love Christmas even more! I loved it.
