Come and rediscover the story you thought you knew
Discover Christmas again—its surprise, its power, and its breathtaking hope—in this rich, inviting walk through Luke 1–2. In The First Light of Advent, beloved Bible teacher Dale Ralph Davis guides readers through the stories behind the nativity with clarity, depth, and warm pastoral insight. With his signature blend of faithful exposition, unexpected humor, and comforting practicality, Davis illuminates the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph, shepherds and angels, showing how God delights to work through ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
Across these six compelling chapters, Davis unpacks the stunning providence that moved an emperor, the humble setting that welcomed a King, the ancient promises that shaped a manger, and the songs of joy that echoed from Judea’s hills. Readers will find themselves drawn into the thrill of redemption, the wonder of fulfilled prophecy, and the steady assurance that God still works through the weak, the overlooked, and the waiting.
Whether read during Advent, shared in small groups, or given as a thoughtful gift, this book helps believers see Christmas not as a sentimental season, but as the dramatic moment when God stepped into the world with majesty wrapped in humility. The First Light of Advent invites you to slow down, look closely, and behold the Savior who brings joy, comfort, and certainty to all who trust Him.
Come and rediscover the story you thought you knew—deepened, clarified, and filled with wonder.
