Every December we spiral down into what Matt Chandler rightly calls our “shop-till-you-drop, make-sure-everybody-is-totally-happy, gift-buying, food-gorging panic attack” called Christmas. If, like me, you’re exhausted already, then An Even Better Christmas is for you. This book guides us all into real “peace on earth,” starting way down deep in our hearts.
It's no secret that Matt Chandler is a gifted communicator of the gospel. But he's much more than that. He's a pastor whose heart for the lost and for the church is evident at every turn. I thank God for Matt's voice of clarity and conviction, and pray his words and witness continue to bear much fruit.
In An Even Better Christmas, Matt Chandler asks a life-changing question: in the Christmas story, are we less like the wise men and more like the religious leaders, who knew about God’s King but didn’t want to know him? Once that question is in your mind, your Christmases will never be the same again. I’m so grateful to Matt for raising it, and it has made me much more excited about Christmas this year.
At Christmas we celebrate God's intervention in world history. The shepherds and wise men were smart enough to check it out. Matt Chandler, who faced a head-on collision with life-threatening cancer, is so glad that he checked it out. Let me encourage you to read Matt's amazing story and check out the Christ of Christmas for yourself. God wants to intervene in your life too.
