Synopsis

Prepare to receive Christ this Advent with the message of John the Baptist and bestselling author and pastor Adam Hamilton in Prepare the Way for the Lord.

For centuries, Christians have turned to the story and message of John the Baptist in the weeks leading up to Christmas. In Prepare the Way for the Lord: Advent and the Message of John the Baptist, bestselling author and pastor Adam Hamilton explores the Advent themes of John's life and ministry, and how John calls all followers of Jesus to prepare our hearts for his coming.

In each of the Gospels, the story of Jesus is intertwined with that of his cousin John, the one whom the prophets foretold would come to "prepare the way of the Lord." When we hear the message of John the Baptist, it makes us and our world ready to receive Christ.

Goodreads review by Megan on March 28, 2024

My Lenten read for 2024. Even though I read 24 hours that Changed the World and The Journey, both also by Hamilton which include information about his travels to the Holy Land, this one felt more like a travel guide than I remember the others being. Format: Print (Paperback)......more
