Gifts of Grace

Adam Ramsey

"Gifts of Grace" is a beautifully written and biblically-rich devotional that will help you to slow down, exhale your troubles, and really savor the miracle we celebrate each Christmas. Jared draws on the songs of the Advent season to frame ancient truths in delightfully fresh ways. Each chapter will lift your eyes above the end-of-year chaos, to marvel at the immeasurable riches of God’s grace. Read this book, and let your heart be filled with wonder at the gifts that Christ alone can give.

As you read this day by day during the Advent season, you will encounter God’s grace and see the gospel as our Lord’s greatest gift to us. I look forward to reading through "Gifts of Grace" with my family as our Advent devotional, and know it will strengthen our love for the one who first loved us.

“Christ-centered Advent Devotional”

I really appreciate the format of this devotional that includes a focus on a particular gift each day. Gifts include hope, reconciliation, propitiation, victory, glorification, etc. Each day is a short read of around 5 pages or so. Wilson writing center on Christ and include refreshing humor. Each day’s title is from a Christmas carol and I like that the list of carols is included at the end of the book. It’s nice to listen to the carol before/after the day’s reading. All in all, I was very blessed by this book and look forward to reading it more in coming years. It’s the type of book devotional that can be read for years to come.

“Encouraging”

Jared helpfully and wonderfully makes you consider again all the richness of the blessings that God has given to Christians. From expiation and justification to hope and peace, he clearly and simply gives you good things to think on in the build up to Christmas reminding us that the coming of Jesus as our saviour was the greatest and first of many good gifts from God.

“A lovely devotional”

I really enjoyed reading Gifts of Grace.
Like an Advent Calendar, each day you receive a treat and then look forward to the next day.
As a child I wanted to eat the next chocolate of an advent calendar before the day has arrived.
I found myself wanting to do the same with this devotional.
There are devotions for 25 days, 1 for every day leading up to Christmas and Christmas day itself.
Each day Jared shares a gift of Biblical Truth inspired from a sentence of a Christmas Carol.
This devotion is theologically rich yet easy to receive as Jared shares many modern analogies to illustrate the point.
What I liked most about this devotion is that it encourages you to anticipate Christ's second coming as you consider his first.
A lovely read with the family leading up to Christmas.

“Encouraging Advent Devotional”

Gifts of Grace by Jared C. Wilson is an Advent devotional. Each day's title comes from the lyrics of a Christmas carol. Each devotion follows the format:
- Title (Carol lyric)
- Today's Gift (ex: victory, justification, freedom)
- Scripture
- Commentary

I'd personally love more scripture and less commentary but this is the nature of devotionals. Gifts of Grace would be a great gift for a newer believer to use for Advent.

“An Encouraging, Christ Centered Devotional”

Gifts of Grace is the latest title by author, professor, and podcaster Jared C. Wilson. This book is an advent devotional that helps readers fix their eyes on Jesus as they countdown the days to Christmas. In the book’s introduction, Wilson explains that the book’s title is derived from the gifts that Christians presently possess in Christ.

In each day’s devotion, readers will be reminded of what these gifts are and be encouraged to enjoy Jesus as the ultimate gift. Each devotion begins with the name of the gift that the devotional content will focus on and a Bible verse that is relevant to that gift. I really enjoy Wilson’s writing style and have appreciated his writings on the For the Church blog so I knew I would enjoy this devotional too.

There are many great options for advent devotionals out there and while I’ve read a few, Gifts of Grace is one of my favorites and I’m pleased to give it my highest recommendation. If you are looking for a rich, Christ centered advent devotional, I highly encourage you to purchase a copy!
