You know the Christmas story by heart. This Advent, step inside it.

In a season that rushes past the manger, Remarkable Advent invites you to slow down and see the first Christmas as if for the first time. Each 10-minute daily reading opens with Scripture, then leads your heart and imagination into the scenes surrounding Christ's birth.

You'll see Mary loosen the knot of her belt as her baby grows. You'll watch Joseph wrestle with Mary's incredible story. And you will discover that God has always intended to use ordinary people—like you—to fulfill his extraordinary plan.

Each day's reading includes:

• Scripture to anchor the story, reflection, and prayer
• Vivid storytelling that brings you into the lives of Mary, Joseph, and others
• Heart-level reflection connecting the first Christmas to your life today
• Guided prayer to help you focus on Jesus and his faithful care for you

Author Shauna Letellier draws on her degree in Biblical Studies and two decades of Bible teaching to weave history, theology, and imaginative detail together. She drapes the fabric of imagination over the framework of Scripture, so the story you know by heart comes to life in your mind.

Perfect for personal devotions, family listening, or gift giving. A fitting companion for listeners of Unwrapping the Names of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu, The Women of Christmas by Liz Curtis Higgs, and The Characters of Christmas by Daniel Darling.

This December, listen by the Advent candles, share it at the table, or give it to someone who longs to step inside the Christmas story and marvel at God's work once again.
