Brightest and Best
31 Advent Devotions on Jesus
Philippa Ruth Wilson
Hardback, illustrated advent devotional
Scripture passgae, short reading and carol lyrics
For each day in December – including after Christmas
This 31–day advent devotional built around the words of well–loved carols will bring comfort and hope in the darkest time of the year. Amidst the building pressure to put reality on hold for a while, and just Have a Good Time, Philippa Wilson communicates joyful, uplifting, and glorious Christmas truths in fresh ways. The purpose of each devotion is to stir up hope and faith, and praise for Jesus, as well as to encourage readers to think biblically and deeply about the carols we sing each year.

Interweaving the wisdom and grace of her aptly termed Carolsville with the wonderous story of Jesus, Philippa Wilson in Brightest and Best sparks longing and love within us during the Advent and Christmas seasons. She welcomes us to share her deep love of the ‘little Lord Jesus’ – a mind–bending notion of the God who became Man. I commend it with joy.

An absolute gem! … each day of the devotional offers us comfort, strength and most important of all, the hope of redemption. Like the Magi, our response is worship. This is a book I will be buying and giving to friends.
