Joy to the World: How Christ's Coming Changed Everything

Dr. Scott Hahn • Image / Crown Publishing (192 pages)

Dr. Scott Hahn investigates the historical, covenantal, and liturgical depths of the Nativity. He shows that Christmas is not a sentimental fairy tale, but the arrival of the eternal Davidic King who heals fractured human relationships and invites our homes into God's family.

Why this is perfect for our families heading into Advent:

Richly focused on the Holy Family as the living blueprint for our domestic churches, giving spouses and parents deeply practical spiritual fuel and peace before holiday chaos begins. At 192 pages, it offers a manageable, joyful pace.
