As the Christmas season quickly approaches, we’re excited to share this new Advent devotional with you! Written by members of The Alliance Writers Collective, this year’s guide focuses on the theme Joy for All People.

“I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;
for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.”
—Luke 2:10b–11

The devotional covers the four traditional Advent themes, as well as a special devotional for Christmas Eve.

• Week 1: The Candle of Hope
• Week 2: The Candle of Peace
• Week 3: The Candle of Joy
• Week 4: The Candle of Love
• Christmas Eve: The Candle of Christ
