Advent is a time of preparation – particularly a time of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Christ. But the preparation for His actual birth did not start a mere 4 weeks before the event. It started before the foundation of the world and it began with Creation..."In his Advent Devotional, Michael Wood traces the steps of our redemption, 'From Creation to the Gospel!' I urge every parent to use this scholarly research to tell their children the complete Christmas story – it is masterful and meaningful! –"Wayne J. Edwards, Pastor"Having known Michael as his pastor for a short while and friend for much longer, we have taken joy in seeing him 'study to show himself approved' and use his talents and gifts to make clear the message of God in creative ways. This book is no exception. This Advent Devotional is unique in that it steps away from the tradition of focusing on just the Christmas story to give the 'big picture' of the gospel and the full meaning of the advent of Christ. Creation, the Fall of Man, our Sin Problem, and God's Glorious Solution are made clear and easy to understand. This devotional would make a great gift for anyone, especially those who might be contemplating the complexities of arelationship with God."Jeff and Kathy Deasy, 20 year Missionaries to Brazil and Kenya, Retired"Being Michael Wood's pastor is pure joy! He is a man who loves the Lord Jesus and treasures the Word of God. His gospel-centered approach to simple Bible teaching for children is refreshing. You and your family will enjoy this practical tool designed to help focus you on the Glorious Christ of Christmas."Keith McWhorter, Preaching Pastor, Corydon Baptist Church
