Witness the worship of Mary, Zechariah, the angels, and Simeon as you dwell daily on their songs of wonder at the Savior’s birth this Advent.
Designed to bring joy during the Christmas season, this 24-day Advent devotional will help you pause and ponder the marvel of Jesus’ birth. The short daily reflections will guide you through each song of praise poured out around the time of the incarnation.
Written by Tim Chester, each devotion is clear and compelling, inviting your heart and soul and voice to sing in response. Through quotes included at the end of each devotion, Chester also joins his voice with Christians from the past, like Charles ...Wesley, whose Christmas hymns we still sing.
You’ll be stirred to join in the praise as you reflect on the extraordinary truth of Christ’s birth.
Tim Chester and Emu Music have joined forces to set a version of the Magnificat to music with a song called Holy Is His Name. An audio file and sheet music are available to help you respond in praise like Mary to the good news of the gospel.

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t finished this one yet. I want to use it as my Advent devotional this year and go through it slowly. I have read though a few of the chapters and I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far. The book is also endorsed by people I’ve found to be trustworthy in the past, so I have no problem saying that this new devotional is worth checking out.

“With Heart & Soul & Voice” is a collection of twenty-four advent devotions taken from the four different Christmas songs in the first two chapters of Luke’s Gospel.
Every Christmas, we enjoy singing and hearing Christmas carols as they provide a warm and meaningful soundtrack to the festive season. These well-known and well-loved carols and hymns remind us of the true meaning of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Christ. However, we can easily lose sight of the significance ...of the biblical songs of the very first Christmas, the songs of Mary, Zachariah, the angels and Simeon.
The devotion itself is divided up into four parts:
Mary’s Song: The Magnificat
Zechariah’s Song: The Benedictus
The Angel’s Song: The Gloria
Simeon’s Song: The Nunc Dimittis
Each advent devotion takes a few verses from the liturgical form of one of these four songs, as well as providing it’s original Scriptural form in Luke’s Gospel. Tim Chester provides a warm and thoughtful devotion as he unpacks the salvation story, there is also a reflection at the end of each devotion - consisting of either a prayer or a few verses from a Christmas carol.
For the Christian, advent is a time of focusing our hearts afresh on the wonder of the incarnation and God’s messianic promises realised in the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Tim Chester’s new advent devotions encourages us to worship God from a deeper place of gratitude, adoration and an appreciation for what God has done for His people.

I will never pass up a Tim Chester devotional—I have just constantly been edified and encouraged by his pastoral heart and teaching. Once again, Tim Chester delivers thought-provoking meditations for Advent. This book features 4 unique songs with 4 unique perspectives from 4 unique, biblical stalwarts: Mary, Zechariah, the heralding Angels, and Simeon. In typical Chester fashion, every word in this book is saturated with scripture and points to the fulfillment of the long-awaited Messiah in Jesus Christ.
This devotional is unique because Tim Chester marries a traditional church song with biblical text, and he not only shows how Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecy but he also provides exhortation for practical living for the reader’s life today.
There are 24 chapters in this book which makes it easy to stay on track for a daily reading during the month of December. At the end of every chapter there is a quote, hymn, or prayer for reflection. For the reader who desires to make this Christmas season meaningful, who would like more traditional elements within Advent, and who needs encouragement to keep their eyes on Christ, Tim Chester has written this book for you.
