Advent Conspiracy

If you haven’t seen this already, check it out.

“The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.”

Story of Job

John Piper wrote a series of poems on the story of Job, and recently published them in a book. If you follow the link below, you can download Piper reading the poems. If you enjoy listening to books and have time, I recommend this. Piper’s reading is moving to listen to.
