“Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free.” These words from a beloved hymn capture the heart of Advent: longing, waiting, expectation. From the very beginning, Scripture builds our anticipation of our Savior—God Himself—who would dwell among His people and set them free from sin and death. In this five-week Advent experience we will celebrate Jesus’s first coming as the baby born in Bethlehem and anticipate His second as the glorious King over all. This Study Book features daily Scripture reading that follows the themes found in each lyric of “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus.” It is also filled with thoughtful features designed to help you engage as people in waiting, including daily reflection prompts, recipes, crafts, Christmas hymns, and more! Join us this Advent as we celebrate and contemplate Jesus, the One who has come and will come again.

She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances. Source: https://shereadstruth.com/about/
