    About this ebook

    Advent is the four-week season that prepares the church to celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus coming to earth. But the story of Advent really stretches all the way back to Creation and all the way forward to the new heaven and new earth. Woven together, the Bibles stories show Gods desire to be with His people through historyand lead us all to our Lively Hope.
