Let Earth Receive Her King by Alistair Begg

In this collection of twenty-four daily readings for Advent, Alistair Begg takes a journey through the Scriptures to trace the lines of the Messiah King, beginning in the book of Genesis. The readings take a broad sweep through the Scriptures to help readers view the Christmas story through a wide-angle lens, beginning with the anticipation of Christ’s coming in the Old Testament and then exploring the fulfillment of those prophecies in the Gospels and the Epistles. Alistair concludes by anticipating the King’s glorious return in the book of Revelation.

Each day’s reading includes questions for reflection or discussion and presents a hymn or Christmas carol to reinforce the daily reading. Let Earth Receive Her King will prepare readers' hearts and minds for Christmas and is well-suited for family devotions in anticipation of celebrating the Lord’s birth.

"My prayer is that these Advent devotions will cause you to wonder at all that God has done, and worship the one who lay in the manger that first Christmas night; and that they will foster within you a great sense of anticipation for Christ's return and prompt you to wait with joy for the day when earth once again receives its King. My prayer is that this Advent season, you and I would grow in our love for Him."
