Awaiting the Manger—Whispers of Advent in the Old Testament
We tend to think of the Christmas Story as a New Testament thing. Wrong! The promised birth of Messiah hovers over the entire Old Testament. We'll show you the passages—and the people—this week on The Land and the Book. You'll be amazed and encouraged that your Bible offers so many miraculous prophecies--all come true. Plus, you’ll love Charlie Dyer’s devotional, The Un-Christmas Present. Don’t miss The Land and the Book.
