The Christmas season can get busy—very busy. Though it’s a season of joy, the pace of life can get overwhelming.
Even things we love about the Christmas season, such as time with friends and family or crossing off Christmas lists, can easily become the main focus rather than what the Christmas season is really about.
Do you find that during the holiday season, it can be easy to lose sight of Jesus?
The weeks leading up to Christmas are typically fast-paced and focused on going and doing. But Advent is about slowing down, waiting, and preparing. We slow down and meditate on the state of the world without Christ and the darkness and sin that Jesus came to remove and destroy. We wait with longing and hope for the celebration and joy that Christmas brings, and we prepare our hearts and our homes for Christ’s arrival—now, through the Holy Spirit, and in the last days when Christ returns.
In Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus, you are invited into this centuries-old practice of Advent—the intentional anticipation of God’s presence with man. During the season of Advent, you’ll join with Christians around the world to prepare your heart to celebrate the incarnation—the accomplishment of God taking the form of a human and dwelling among us.
This study was designed to help you meditate on and marvel at Jesus’s incarnation, the wonderful truth that Jesus took on flesh and came near to us.
Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus is a 4-week study that will guide you to:
Discover God’s presence throughout Scripture that culminates in the person of Jesus Christ.
Experience the nearness of Jesus, promised and made available to you.
Put Jesus at the center of your Christmas season.
Seek God’s presence daily and rest in God’s presence in every situation.
Get Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus, follow along each day through the Christmas season, and be awakened with wonder with the promise that Jesus is with you, closer than you ever realized.

The Daily Grace Co. has equipped me to be a better disciple...it has made me a strong believer in the importance of women knowing good theology! The Daily Grace Co. has transformed my life and walk with Christ.
I bought this Advent book at a small business in my home state. It has been such a blessing to read during the holiday season. I enjoyed that it took you through different places in the Bible to teach about the theme for each week. While the conclusion always points to Jesus, it shows the themes throughout the old and new testaments. It's truly a wonderful study guide.

My favorite Daily Grace Co. Study So Far
This Advent study made me think about Jesus in so many ways I had never thought of Him before. It truly made me feel closer to Him throughout this busy holiday season where sometimes we forget to stop and worship Him. It only got better the closer to Christmas we got. To truly think about how He became human, experienced all the emotions and things that we experience, how you can come through this study and not feel close to Jesus is beyond me!

Awakening Wonder | Advent Bible Study
This study was such a gift during a season that often feels rushed and overwhelming. Awakening Wonder created space to slow down, reflect, and truly sit in the waiting that Advent invites us into. I loved the weekly memory verses, the beautifully designed pages, and the inclusion of rest day reflections and hymns. The daily readings were theologically rich, clearly pointed to Jesus, and never felt overwhelming. The only downside was that the pages began to separate from the binding, so I do wish it were spiral bound to make it more durable. Overall, this is a meaningful, Christ-centered Advent study that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a slower, more intentional Advent season.
