50 Days of Christmas is an inspiring new Christmas devotional that helps readers set aside time to rest in the story of Jesus during the busy festive season. Christmas is the most celebrated occasion in the world today and across human history, and yet how many of us stop to think what it’s about. 50 Days of Christmas: Rediscovering Peace on Earth guides readers through seven weekly themes in the lead up to Christmas. These include considering Christmas as pilgrimage, prophetic, personal, political, peaceful, powerful and pre-eminent. Over the 50 days of short Bible readings and reflections, skeptical, curious, seeking and devout readers will find daily (or twice daily if preferred) opportunities to sit with the story of Jesus from the beginning of time to the end, with a special focus on the remarkable people and events of the first Christmas. At times uncomfortable, always stimulating, and leading towards comfort and joy, 50 Days of Christmas will help you encounter the revelation of Christmas like never before. Why 50 Days of Christmas ? It’s our hope that people of all faiths or none might find themselves reading 50 Days of Christmas: Rediscovering Peace on Earth to answer questions like: - What if Jesus, whose birth gave rise to the celebration of Christmas, is something more than a Jewish baby born during the Roman occupation of Judaea? - What if we were to take time, with an open heart and mind, to engage with the key weekly themes of this book: Christmas is a pilgrimage, prophetic, personal, political, peaceful, powerful and preeminent? - What if, whether you are a devout Christian, casual observer, secular seeker or a person of another faith, this 50 day journey changes your life forever? This is the first in the '50 Days of' series from Fifty Days Press. Keep an eye out for more!
