Description

What if Advent wasn't just a countdown but a pilgrimage to the baby Jesus?

Each Advent, as we prepare for the coming of Christ at Christmas, we may often find ourselves distracted by the noise of the world around us. However, with this beautifully written devotional from Fr Philip Caldwell, author of Friends of Jesus, learn to travel towards the manger more slowly, purposefully, and prayerfully, guided by Scripture, art, and the familiar figures of the Nativity.

Through daily reflections across the four weeks of Advent, A Journey to the Crib accompanies you from the first steps of the season's waiting and expectation to the joy of arrival at the stable. Along the way, you’ll meet the familiar figures of Christmas – shepherds and animals, kings and angels, midwives and saints – each revealing a more lively and profound response of faith in you.

Whether you undertake the journey alone or in the company of a group, this devotional opens a deeper conversation with God through prayer, beauty, and contemplation. By Christmas, you will not only reach the crib, but you will be ready to greet the Christ child on Christmas morning with the same abundant joy and thanksgiving that they did.
