Seven Words of Christmas by Robert Morris

 

Does your family read a book together for Advent every year? We did that a lot when our son was younger and all through the years. Seven Words of Christmas by Robert Morris would be a good book to read with the whole family through the Advent season. 

Seven is a special number in the Bible. Pastor Morris says that the number seven signifies completeness or perfection. In Seven Words of Christmas, Pastor Morris says that God heralded His son into the world with seven unique prophetic words that still speak to us in our world today. Those words are: Salvation, Favor, Blessed, Guidance, Joy, Redemption and Peace. Throughout Seven Words of Christmas, Pastor Morris shares Scripture and stories around each of these seven words as he shares the story of Christmas.

I read through this book in a short amount of time and enjoyed it so much. Seven Words of Christmas brought the Christmas story to life for me today starting with the Scriptures in Luke as Zacharias and Elizabeth find out from Gabriel that they will give birth to John. He goes on through the whole story of Jesus' birth through Scripture. Yet, Pastor Morris brings out some things that I haven't really thought about before, at least for awhile. Each chapter gave me something new to think about and reflect on. I could also see where our family could have some good discussions after each reading of a chapter. The chapters are also a short length to hold everyone's attention span if someone is reading them out loud. I would recommend Seven Words of Christmas if you are looking for a new book for advent readings.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own. #sponsoredbyfaithwords
