Hello <<First Name>>,

"People long for Christmas to be a peaceful time—in our souls, in our families, amongst our neighbors, at work, and around the world. Here’s a great irony, however: observance of the Nativity would be incomplete without looking at the spiritual battle going on behind the scenes that first Christmas and which continues beyond our visible spectrum of light."

"With devotions entitled, The Fight for Peace on Earth, God on the Move, Holy Saboteurs, Liberating Kindness, and Peace on Earth Begins—this Advent Guide will lead you toward a fuller understanding of God’s good plan to restore humanity to Himself by bringing Jesus, the Prince of Peace into the world. Our hope is that this Advent guide will enrich your appreciation of Christmas and encourage you toward works of compassion and kindness, bringing the peace of Christ to all you do."

...it seems that we are always fighting to have peace in our own lives. We want it. We assume we can have it. Yet, it keeps evading us. The angels knew what they were talking about that first Christmas. This Advent, let us explore what the angels announced when they said:

“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests,” ... (Luke 2:14)

I hope you enjoy it!
