This Advent, we invite you to explore what it looks like to hold hope when life feels really uncertain, to bring peace in the face of fear, to practice joy when everything seems burdensome, and to choose love, when sometimes, it’s just really hard. You’ll be invited to wonder more deeply about this classic story, to imagine some of the details that aren’t filled in for us, and to make connections to your context this season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis devotional is available in two editions: an \u003cem\u003eIllustrated Edition\u003c\/em\u003e and a \u003cem\u003eText-only Edition\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eAfter selecting your purchase type, select which edition you want\u003c\/em\u003e (or save 25% and purchase both editions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIllustrated Edition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Illustrated Edition is a hybrid devotional\/coloring book.
