The One True Gift

Keith Sinclair

Tim Chester’s writing is clear, fresh and allows the light of God’s word to shine brightly. I am looking forward to using Tim’s book in Advent and I hope many will too. Advent focuses on true gifts which we neglect at our peril; there is accountability, there is a God who cares, there is a universe in which the kingdom of God has come and will come. Don’t let Advent be taken over by Christmas, use Tim’s book to discover more of the one true gift.

Read and pray your way though this Advent book and your Christmas may be very different from previous ones. Or rather, you may be a very different person this Christmas, which is rather more important. Of course, it’s not all about you, it’s all about Jesus Christ, but if you are IN Christ, then actually it is all about you too. Tim Chester fills out the wonderful words of Paul in Philippians with delightfully written short reflections, full of fresh images and comparisons and in a style that is very easy to read, though less easy to live. You’ll feed on some very rich biblical theology, bite-size but deeply nourishing.

“An inspiring book in preparation for Advent”

I found this book had a slightly different approach as Tim Chester based each daily passage of readings on verses from Philippians which summarised thought provoking aspects of the nature and affect of Christ’s Birth as a Babe in a lowly manger, rather than a set of passages directly describing different stages of th actual historical story. The Biblical story was there so well described.

“Fabulous”

Bought this book for myself and a friend so we could use it over advent and share our thoughts. It's been amazing and we've both found it challenging but encouraging to work through. Nearly finished now and can honestly say it's been fantastic.
