Endorsements

So much of the story, the joy and the courage we need each day is carried in the songs of the Bible. Tim Chester helps us savor these life-giving lyrics.

Christmas—it’s the most wonderful time of the year, except...it’s full of busyness and the stress of the season! So Tim Chester provides some timely soul nourishment with this Advent devotional around Luke’s four Christmas canticles. He writes in a way that brings back ‘the wonder’. Read it and let your heart sing!


Steve James Holy Trinity Platt, Manchester

In With Heart and Soul and Voice, Tim Chester unpacks the history, heart and hope behind the four songs surrounding Christ’s birth. With skill, creativity and insight, he helps us to see with fresh eyes the depths of our sin and the heights of God’s mercy revealed in Jesus coming to die for our sins. If you’re looking for an Advent devotional that makes you want to sing, look no further!

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t finished this one yet. I want to use it as my Advent devotional this year and go through it slowly. I have read though a few of the chapters and I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far. The book is also endorsed by people I’ve found to be trustworthy in the past, so I have no problem saying that this new devotional is worth checking out.

These well-known and well-loved carols and hymns remind us of the true meaning of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Christ. However, we can easily lose sight of the significance ...

I will never pass up a Tim Chester devotional—I have just constantly been edified and encouraged by his pastoral heart and teaching. Once again, Tim Chester delivers thought-provoking meditations for Advent. This book features 4 unique songs with 4 unique perspectives from 4 unique, biblical stalwarts: Mary, Zechariah, the heralding Angels, and Simeon. In typical Chester fashion, every word in this book is saturated with scripture and points to the fulfillment of the long-awaited Messiah in Jesus Christ.
