Advent for Exiles

In Advent for Exiles, Caroline Cobb presents 25 devotions designed to awaken gospel hope in every longing heart.

Drawing on her talents as a songwriter and storyteller, Cobb helps us better understand the experiences of the Old Testament exiles and their anticipation of a Savior. She beautifully points us to Christ, the light of the world, whose rays penetrate the dark realities of our lives today.

Step Into the Light

I was particularly moved by her portrayal of Jesus as the “Exile in Reverse.” Cobb illustrates how Christ’s advent reverses the withdrawal of God’s presence, counters God’s judgment in exile, and reconciles us with the Father. Her insights inspire a deeper desire to draw closer to Christ and step into the light. Each devotional is infused with fresh perspectives that bring warmth and delight.

Advent for Exiles offers an artistic exploration of the Advent season, faithfully anchored in Scripture. It is a book filled to the brim with hope.
