Book Description

In The Best Songs Come at Night and Other Christmas Proverbs, popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas shares proverbial nuggets of wisdom from the biblical Christmas story. For example, he points out that many of history's greatest inspirational songs were written in the most dire circumstances, places, and times of darkness within the human soul, and similarily, Christ the Saviour was born into a nighttime world to bring the light of salvation to all humankind. Chapters include: Miracles Begin as Babies, The Best Songs Come at Night, Wise Men Follow a Star, and Christmas Lasts Longer Than You Think. This four-week study, appropriate for both group and individual use, provides one lesson for each week of Advent. Each lesson includes a reference to a key passage of Scripture, a brief reflection, questions for reflection or discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the coming week.
