  Advent ... a chance to prepare for the celebration of that moment in history when 'the Word became human and made his home among us' (John 1:14, NLT). So, in this Advent edition of WORDS OF LIFE, guest writer Lieutenant-Colonel Andre Sterckx helps us to understand further how God came to earth for our salvation - in the person of Jesus.
  Other studies in this volume lead us through the life and teaching of Jesus, as outlined in a selection of books authored by Salvation Army officers. We consider how best to display the nature of Jesus as we endeavour to live like him, producing the fruits of the Spirit. We discover more about his character from some 'portraits' of Christ, and learn about God's kingdom from teaching Jesus gave through his parables and some question-and-answer encounters.
  As the year draws to its close, we get to meet the next writer of Words of Life as Major Beverly Ivany, of Canada, introduces herself by way of two mini-series.

  Christmas gifts can be torn open in a moment but the gifts of Advent, the word used to describe Jesus' 'coming', take a lifetime to unwrap and explore.This edition of Words of Life contains a whole pile of Advent gifts -- a series on Jesus' ministry to women, the story of Samuel, studies in Luke's Gospel and 1 Thessalonians. Also featured are the glorious promises of Isaiah 40, a challenge to pray the Love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13) and a reminder that 'doing Advent' in a Scriptural way is quite different from celebrating Christmas as the commercial world presses us to do.A series by guest contributor Major JoAnn Shade brings us face to face with Jesus whom the apostle Paul described as God's indescribable gift.May you be blessed by these Advent gifts that come wrapped up in love from the very heart of God.
