Amidst the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, allow yourself to pursue the Christ of Christmas for just a few minutes every day.

Filled with profound and thought-provoking insights, Pursuing the Christ is a thirty-one-day devotional and prayer guide to help you breathe in the freshness of Christ during the holiday season. Based on the themes of Advent, such as hope, peace, and joy, Pursuing the Christ will help you escape the holiday stress for just a moment each day as you find yourself joyfully meditating on familiar Christmas verses and some possibly not-so-familiar Messianic passages that will warm your heart as you appreciate how the season impacts your life every day of the year.
