About the Book

Go on an Advent journey guided by the practices in John Wesley's means of grace.

Book Synopsis

Journey Through Advent with John Wesley's Means of Grace. The season of Advent offers time and space for Christians to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ at Christmas through reflecting on the story of salvation. In All the Good: A Wesleyan Way of Christmas, a group of diverse Wesleyan scholars will take you on an Advent journey guided by the practices in John Wesley's means of grace. John Wesley's emphasis upon practices of piety and mercy--or good works--drew from the larger Christian tradition. Such practices are often referred to as means of grace. The devotional contains 28 daily devotions for the four weeks of Advent corresponding to the themes of Altogether Love, Altogether Hope, Altogether Joy, and Altogether Peace. Written by pastors and other leaders, the devotions celebrate and bring together the season of Advent and the best of our Wesleyan heritage. Additional resources sold separately include a book, Leader Guide, and a DVD with weekly video segments. Perfect for a small group Advent study.
