Star of Wonder

 

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Star of Wonder by Angela Hunt hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Star of Wonder
Author: Angela Hunt
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release Date: September 26, 2023
Genre: Advent Devotional

My Review: 

The cover of Star of Wonder by Angela Hunt is beautiful and eye-catching.

Star of Wonder does not read like a devotional in the true sense of the word. In some ways, the book dispels what we have known to be true, or myths that have been toted as truth. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of Biblical Truth as one would expect with this kind of book. However, it also reads like a historical novel, as it is rich in historical details. It's interesting how the book explores the different places of Jesus' birth, including the prophecies from the Old Testament.

There are four sections in the book: The Places of Christmas, The Prophecies of Christmas, The People of Christmas, and The Purpose of Christmas. Star of Wonder will take you deeper into the stories and people of Jesus' time. The author also explores how things would be if Jesus had not come.

Each chapter ends with a section called "Moment of Wonder." It is a time to go deeper while applying what you have read. Each chapter ends with a prayer. 

Thank you to Justreads and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the Book  

Come, Rediscover the Wonder and Reality of the Very First Christmas

We all love the Christmas season, but have we buried the truth of the day?

Bestselling author Angela Hunt weaves together visceral storytelling with overlooked biblical historical truths to help you rediscover the places, people, prophecies, and purpose of Christmas. Each of the engaging twenty-five devotions includes scriptural insights, historical facts, and personal application, which--along with weekly family activities--will have everyone saying, "I didn't know that!" as the Nativity comes to life anew.

Explore Bethlehem and Nazareth. Walk with Mary, Joseph, and others. Be amazed by the words of the prophets of old. And be warmed by God's great purpose that culminated in the birth of the Messiah.

Star of Wonder is perfect as an individual Advent devotional or for family and small group study. You will see Christmas with new eyes, create lasting holiday memories, and shine light on the wonder of that night so long ago.

"This Advent devotional is written with passion, showing patterns and prophecies that filled me with renewed hope and wonder."--FRANCINE RIVERS, bestselling author of The Lady's Mine and Redeeming Love
