Matthew West, in his trademark creative and engaging style, leads readers to experience Christmas through the eyes of a child and to come home to greater joy, hope, peace, and belonging found only in Jesus.
Come Home for Christmas invites readers to enter the Christmas season with the intention of returning their hearts to God. In the midst of what can be the busiest and most stressful holiday season, each chapter points the reader to the kingdom realities that God invites each of us to participate in through the birth of Jesus. Matthew West's humor, Bible-teaching, and storytelling challenge us to embrace this season of Christmas as the homecoming that God intends for it to be. Through the pages of this winsome and inspiring book, you will:
- Feel the wonder of Christmas as you did when you were a child
- Move beyond the baby in the manger to the Savior of the world
- Return your heart to the joy, peace, love, and hope found in Jesus
- Restore neglected or broken relationships with family and friends
- Come home to the life God intended you to experience throughout the year.
This special book, which springs out of Matthew's love for Christmas, reminds us that the story of Christmas calls readers back to the heart (or the home) of what it means to be loved by God. Each chapter will include a specific Bible reading about the Christmas story, and the book will include small group discussion questions and an Advent challenge.
I have been a fan of Matthew West for many years. He is a WONDERFUL Music Artist and I was excited to read his new Christmas Book: Come Home For Christmas: Jesus Is Calling You Back to the Greatest Story Ever Told.
WOW, this is a BEAUTIFULLY written book about the Christmas Season. The Christmas Season is a "magical season" for Kids. As we grow older we start understanding the depth of the Christmas Season and what the season is truly about. The BUSY times of the Season can pull us away from truly remembering that "Jesus is the Reason" for the season. Matthew has written this book to help Adults and Families refocus during the Christmas Season and "Come Back to God" during the Celebrations. We can have all the Family Gatherings, enjoy the fun activities at Church and in the Community, but we need to remember and celebrate God in our hearts throughout the Christmas Season. I really LOVE the layout and format of the book. Each Chapter has a bible reading about the Christmas Story, an Advent Challenge and discussion for Small Groups or Families. I HIGHLY suggest this book for Families and everyone during the Christmas Season and to remember that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season". GREAT BOOK!
