Open your heart to the good news of Christmas
The Christian year is fundamentally a roadmap for pilgrims, as biblical witnesses lead spiritually hungry people on a journey to receive the full riches of God’s grace. During Advent, we take the first steps.
In Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus, Andy Langford and Ann Langford Duncan invite you on an Advent-to-Christmas pilgrimage to draw closer to Jesus and invite others to join you on this journey. Traditional Scripture readings and acts of worship reveal anew the treasures of God’s grace for all people. Let this book guide you to open your heart to the priceless gifts of the good news. Start your pilgrimage today and experience the full riches of God’s love.
During Advent and Christmas, explore:
An Early Prophet: Isaiah
Two Later Prophets: John the Baptist and John the Theologian
The Mother of God and First Disciple: Mary
The First Witnesses: Angels, Shepherds, Simeon, and Anna
Grace Born in Bethlehem[1]
