Watch Here

Take a moment to slow down, gather your family, and make room for Christ this Advent.

Read the video transcript

“Hope that anchors your soul, peace that calms every storm, joy that overflows, and love that changes everything. Don't let the season pass in a blur. Let Christ arrive anew in your heart and bring light into your home. Order your copy of ARRIVAL today and step into the wonder waiting just for you.”

Back cover of ARRIVAL. It explains the three Arrivals of Christ, quotes Revelation 4:8, lists the book's features, and includes a photo of Dr. Bob E. Neal with a short bio of Bob and Paige Neal.
The back cover of ARRIVAL
Christ's Three Arrivals

Why “Arrival”?

The word “Advent” means “Arrival.” This Advent devotional is intended to highlight that Christ has not just one, but three “Arrivals.”

  • Christ with us. His birth, when He was given the name “Immanuel.”
  • Christ in us. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
  • Christ who is coming back for us. His return to earth again.

These three “Advents” are captured in a song being sung in Heaven:

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Revelation 4:8 (ESV)
