Unwrapping the Names of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu {Book Review}

Title: Unwrapping the Names of Jesus

Author: Asheritah Ciuciu

Genres: Christian Living, Devotionals

Publication Date: October 3, 2017

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Source: Hardcover

Purchase: Hardcover | Kindle | Christian Book | Moody Publishers

Synopsis:
How to focus on Christ during Advent 
Most Christians agree that Christmas is all about Jesus, yet most of us spend little time preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. Why is this? Partly because we don’t know how. 
In Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu leads readers through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love). Each week:
  • Begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together
  • Offers five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus
  • Includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects 
This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season. Either way, participants will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is. 
By focusing on the person and character of Jesus throughout the Advent season, readers will prepare their hearts so that when they admire the live nativity, sit in the candlelight service, or wake up on Christian morning, they can join the faithful who sing from the bottom of their hearts, "O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!"
My Rating: 
Advent is something I have never celebrated, so finding an interactive devotional that covers and goes through Advent was exciting. Not to mention, I'm a fan of Asheritah Ciuciu. The book's presentation is absolutely stunning. I love the pops of gold foil mixed with red and white as it definitely has the Christmas vibe going. The hardcover was well crafted with beautiful pages. Easy to write within the book, but I'd say give your pen time to dry or it will smudge.

The actual devotionals are beautifully written. I'm a fan of interactive books -- books that get you involved by asking questions, giving challenges, giving you extra bits to check out online and so forth. This book offers it all PLUS prayers and various scriptures.

I love that this is broken into 4 weeks and 5 days per week with an introduction to the week and closing activities to partake in. I found that I enjoyed doing this with family and friends as it allowed us to bond and study scripture together.

I highly recommend this beauty!

Blessings,
