An updated and revised version of a book that has already impacted thousands of churches. Are you tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas?

How to have a Christmas worth remembering, not dreading.


This is an updated and revised version of a book that has impacted thousands of churches.

Are you tired of how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas? Do you find yourself dreading Christmas a little? This year, take a stand! Join the groundswell of Christ-followers who are choosing to make Christmas what it should be—a joyous celebration of Jesus’ birth that enriches our hearts and the world around us, not a retail circus that depletes our pocketbooks and defeats our spirits. 

Advent Conspiracy shows you how to substitute consumption with compassion by practicing four simple but powerful, countercultural concepts:



Worship Fully—because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus.
Spend Less—and free your resources for things that truly matter.
Give More—of your presence: your hands, your words, your time, your heart.
Love All—the poor, the forgotten, the marginalized, and the sick in ways that make a difference.

 

Christmas can still change the world when you, like Jesus, give what matters most—your presence.

This updated and revised version, with some all-new content, will share stories of the impact this movement has made around the globe as well as giving individuals and churches even better, more practical help in planning the kind of Christmas that truly can change the world.

New introduction, new chapter, and changes throughout.
