25 DAYS. 25 INVITATIONS. What if you could have more peace in your life? What about more hope? Or joy? Or love? This is the promise of Advent. A season meant to inspire peace, hope, love, and joy. But how can we receive these gifts? How can we have more of the good our hearts desire? This Advent season, 25 Invitations of Christmas offers twenty-five opportunities to receive these gifts. Each day leading to Christmas is a fresh surprise, a new invitation. Following the model of traditional advent calendars, 25 Invitations of Christmas walks through the birth stories of Jesus in a twenty-five day period, pausing to show where we are being invited to step into the story. Along the way, you'll discover how the peace, hope, love, and joy of Christ born into the world 2,000 years ago aren't confined to the past, but are available for us today.
