Description

What if the wonder of Christmas wasn't something you left behind, but something that still beckoned you forward?

In this moving devotional journey from Advent through Christmas Day and into the New Year, world-renowned prolific author Leonard Sweet invites readers to rediscover the sacred heart of the season. Through poetic meditations, vibrant storytelling, and interactive prayers, The Star Still Beckons explores how the Incarnation is not just a past event but a present invitation.

With weekly themes like "From Glory to Grime," "The Manger Manifesto," and "The Sacred Dance of Silence and Song," Sweet brings fresh insight to familiar stories. You'll encounter donkeys that perceive what kings miss, learn why prepositions matter more than propositions, and see how even Christ's birth foreshadows his redemptive wounds.

Perfect for individuals, families, or congregations seeking spiritual depth during the holidays, this devotional will renew your sense of wonder, awaken your imagination, and help you follow the star-again and again.

Includes:

7 meditative chapters from Advent to New Year

Prayers, Scripture reflections, and interactive prompts

Theological depth with poetic beauty

For all who still believe the world can be changed by a baby in a manger.
