{"product_id":"2940150560499","title":"God Breaks His Silence: A Study Guide for Christmas","description":"Everything about this time is grand. Andy Williams was right: it is the most wonderful time of the year. From the Christian’s perspective, this time is particularly special because we celebrate the coming of our Lord, Jesus. Beyond the Santa exploits and arguments over nativity displays in public, there is a culminating atmosphere that directs all of our senses toward Christ.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has become easier each year to forget what the season is all about. There’s the hustle in buying, the traffic in the streets, and that irritated lady who mouths off to the store clerk when they run out of Elmos. So many things can distract us from—pardon the cliché—the reason for the season.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we can prepare ourselves ahead, this time of the year can be wonderfully useful to our families. We have to be intentional. We have to take advantage of the sights, sounds, and smells, and use them to stir our affections toward heaven.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis short study guide is aimed at doing just that. It focuses on two different stories about two different people from two different cities who respond two different ways to one similar message—salvation is coming.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lucid Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166846173424,"sku":"2940150560499","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150560499_p0.jpg?v=1763748929","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150560499","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
