Walking Toward Christmas is for those who love Christmas and want to learn more about it through Bible study and reflection. The book contains twenty-five daily readings for the Advent season, including chapters on Herod the Great, the significance of the flight to Egypt, the historical authenticity of the Nativity, the Old Testament meaning of Jesus' name, and the important role of Mary's cousin Elisabeth. Walking Toward Christmas is a thought-provoking collection of essays that will inform, inspire, and reward the reader. "Skillfully, Patterson has woven historical material together with spiritual principles that can assist us in our 'walk toward Christmas.'" Robert H. Spence, President, Evangel University
