Cover To Cover - Unexpected Jesus By Anna Robbins

The prophets and people of Israel had long looked forward to the arrival of the Messiah. They were anticipating a powerful leader who would liberate them from their oppressors and put everything right. They were not expecting a baby born to a young couple in a crowded family home, in the middle of a bustling town. And perhaps neither were we.

These 31 reflections explore some Biblical encounters with Jesus and how different individuals responded to his unexpected presence and love. For many, their encounter with Him meant the opportunity for total transformation. What would an encounter with Jesus mean to you? This Advent get closer to Jesus - and expect the unexpected.

Each reflection offers:

a Bible reading and daily focus

questions to answer

a closing prayer

With additional notes and questions for four group sessions, this guide is ideal for both small groups and individual use, giving opportunity for seasonal thought, prayer and discussion
