The Christmas season is full of preparations. You pull out the decorations, mail cards, plan gatherings, shop, attend programs and performances—all to celebrate the day Christ was born. But amidst all the readying and activities, are you taking time to prepare your heart? Perhaps the checklists and busyness of all of our traditional preparations distracts us from the significance of Advent and Christmas itself. All of these distractions may even cause us to miss some of the blessings we are truly meant to receive during this season of celebration and joy. Through thoughtful reflection, author Naomi Beale invites us each to purposefully experience Advent daily. Standing still intentionally in anticipation of Christmas Day magnifies the HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE to be found in this season. These meditations with focused scripture will enhance the celebration of Christmas, encourage daily awareness of these gifts, and point to being in the Advent of the eternal light and love to come.

2021 Illumination Book Awards, Gold Medal: Spirituality What is the “inner chapel”? The place within where God meets us. We can trust God—and we can trust in God’s promises to us, including: We are never alone. We are loved--unconditionally. We have a companion in our suffering. Each of us has a unique call. But how do we experience all that God has given us? By going to the inner chapel, that sacred place within each person where God waits to love us unconditionally. There, God gives us all we need to find our way to a life of hope instead of despair, peace instead of continued restlessness, and joy instead of anxiety. Becky Eldredge offers readers down-to-earth stories, prayer experiences to try, and enthusiastic encouragement for spiritual growth and a deeper friendship with God. The Inner Chapel will inspire individuals but also provide excellent material for small groups and people going on retreat.​
