For the past several years, it's really been on my heart to create an Orthodox Advent Study.  A resource that we could use daily during the Nativity fast to help keep our minds and hearts on Christ instead of the hustle and bustle happening right outside our doors.Not long after I started working on it, I realized what an enormous project it really was.  Soon, things that required immediate attention forced me to set it aside--again and again...  This year I was determined to get it all together and so finally it is available for download!

This 66-page eBook was created with the hope of assisting us to overcome the spirit of secularism by offering some simple things to ponder every day during the next six weeks.  We’ll also discuss some common misconceptions (Was it a stable or a cave? Were Mary and Joseph betrothed or married?) that will help us gain a better understanding of what really happened that holy night so many years ago in the city of Bethlehem.   Included in this Advent Study are weekly devotionals, daily readings, and activities to help us remember who and what we are really celebrating at Christmastime.  During this study we’ll be using Holy Tradition like a set of spectacles to bring the story of the Nativity to life in 3-D!

It is very simple to use this study.  Simply print it out and place the pages in a binder or folder.  You can take it with you wherever you go!  Grab your Bible and do your daily reading and responding with your morning coffee, in car line or while waiting in the doctor's office, or at night after everyone else is fast asleep.  It's completely up to you!This was truly a labor of love and I hope it serves as a help for all of us in remembering the true reason for the season, the coming of Christ into the world, this year and for many years to come.  I look forward to hearing your thoughts, likes and dislikes about the study right here in the comments.  This will help me make it better for next time!I've made it as affordable as possible at only $12.00.  The only thing I ask is that you please only print enough copies for those in your household or if you know someone who truly cannot afford to purchase one of their own.  Please do not send copies of the file to those who have not purchased their own or reproduce it in any way without my written permission.© This eBook is copyright of Sylvia Leontaritis and Adventures of an Orthodox Mom.  You may download anything on these pages for personal, non-commercial use.
