From Heaven: A 28-Day Advent Devotional - Hardcover

“So many persons become excited about Christmas and so few stop to inquire into its meaning.” — A. W. Tozer

As much as Advent can be a season for reflection, it can also be a season for distraction. In all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, we often fail to think on Christ. A. W. Tozer, a man whose life practice was to shun distraction and gaze intently upon God, provides much-needed reflections on the Incarnation.

A 40-day reading experience, From Heaven features daily two-page reflections on Advent. Chapter titles include:

• Christmas Reformation Long Overdue
• The Meaning of Christmas
• The Logic of the Incarnation
• Divine Love Incarnate
• God Manifest in the Flesh
• What the Advent Established
• A Glance Back and a Look Forward
• Our Resources for the Years to Come

There are grand implications for the truth of Emmanuel, “God with us.” This season, set your heart upon the birth that shook the heavens and put earth back on its feet.

“We live between two mighty events . . .”

Advent is as much about looking back as it is looking ahead—back to Christ’s incarnation, ahead to His return. From Heaven combines A. W. Tozer’s best reflections on these two themes to help us better appreciate the season of Advent. Each daily reading is paired with Scripture for meditation, drawing our attention to the rising light of Christ.

“I am struck with the wonder and the significance of the limitless meaning of these two words, He came. Within them the whole scope of divine mercy and redeeming love is outlined.” — A. W. Tozer
