ADVENT DEVOTIONAL

This year’s Brethren Press Advent devotional is titled “Simple Gifts,” written by Kathy Guisewite. Cost is $4.50 per copy. A description from Brethren Press says, “Every part of the Christmas story is miraculous. God’s love was made manifest in a lowly barn, in the dark of night, for ordinary people. We need not believe that we must do anything extraordinary to make this season magical. There’s no need to worry about shopping for it or allowing the stresses of life to weigh us down. Perhaps if we practice leaning into the simplicity of the holy story and the sacredness of our ordinary lives, we will find joy and peace.”

The Brethren Press devotional series is published twice a year for the Advent/Christmas and Lenten seasons. A seasonal subscriber option costs $8 a year for both regular print booklets, or $16 a year for both large print booklets. Subscriptions are renewed automatically each year at the discounted rate and bulk quantities can be adjusted with a simple call. Subscribers can cancel their enrollment in the program at any time. To order individual copies or for more information on the subscriber option visit www.brethrenpress.com or call 800-441-3712.
