Theologian and biblical scholar NT Wright provides a brief devotion (scripture translation, commentary, and exploratory question) beginning on the First Sunday of Advent and concluding up to Christmas. The books are great for groups or individual journeys towards Advent. What I enjoyed about these devotions is Wright’s ability to lay some theological depth within a short time with weekly them and each day questions ultimately building up for us to answer for ourselves the question “Who is this Jesus – for me, for the church, for everyone? And how am I ever-deepening that experience?”

World-renowned author and theologian, N. T. Wright gives us this well-considered and balanced devotional for Advent. Wright has written major theological tomes of significance that are fairly inaccessible to an average reader (see his Christian Origins series of books). It is refreshing to have him re-state his ideas in the context of a devotional for "everyone." This particular edition has a good balance. The writing and ideas are accessible and yet offer enough food for thought to challenge a wider audience. This book has enticed me to look further into Wright's "everyone" series. It was very enriching and enjoyable. 4.5 stars
