What a Blessing of an Advent Book

The Dawning of Indestructible Joy is a great little Advent book. It is so worth your time to spend with your family to do the Advent to Christmas or if you are just one person it is just as great for you as well. As the author wrote that this book was, "like the Apostle Peter at the end of his life as he wrote his second letter. Twice he told his readers why he was writing to them. In the first chapter he said, "I think it right as long as I am in this body to stir you up by way of reminder". I Peter 1:13 , then in the last chapter, he said it again, "I am stirring up your sincere Mind by way of reminder.". II Peter 9:1. His aim was first to remind them. And, then, by reminding them, to stir them up.". That is what the author wanted to do for you in this Advent book. I went through and it does just that. Here are some chapter names the mercy HE promises, freed to be part of GOD's family, HE came to serve, graciously and Tenderly frustrating, the gift you cannot buy, receive HIS reconciliation, something worth singing about and many more. Do not miss out on this precious book this Advent and next year to come. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.
