About this listen
This Christmas, discover the gift of Jesus and what He means for your life. What if, in accepting this most precious gift, you are met with His grace and mercy and His peaceful presence? In the midst of chaotic holiday preparations, The Gift of Jesus will remind you that Christmas is a season of joy and renewal.
In The Gift of Jesus, beloved pastor and teacher Dr. Charles Stanley takes a deeply personal and inspiring look at how God gave us Himself through the birth of Christ. When He sent Jesus, He closed the separation between us, showing Himself to be intimately involved in every detail that concerns us. This book will usher you into Jesus' presence, reveal His compassionate heart, and help you treasure the best parts of the Advent season. In this book of Christmas meditations, you will:
- See the Christmas story and God's precious gift for you with fresh eyes
- Find the calm in the chaos
- Carve out time for reflection, prayer, and Scripture readings
- Know that Jesus is walking with you, whatever you're facing this Christmas season
If you're searching for comfort and direction or if you'd like to embrace together with your loved ones the significance of Christ's birth, come worship the One who gave everything to walk with you each step of the way.
Each entry in The Gift of Jesus includes:
- A thoughtful meditation to illuminate the story of Christ's birth
- A "Gift for Today" statement to inspire you throughout the day
- Lyrics to a beautiful seasonal hymn
This Christmas season, reflect on the gift of Jesus and all He wants to be in your life.

Story
Charles Stanley helps you recognize and begin to live with the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit by challenging you in three parts to look up, within, and ahead. Life abundant - Jesus promised it and we long for it, yet few Christians seem to have it. Blending lively anecdotes, commentary, and teachings from the Bible, Charles Stanley introduces you to the Holy Spirit. He is not an oversized electrical current you just plug into when you need additional help, or a theological concept, but just as real and active as Christ.

Service is giving, and giving is the very essence of the gospel. God gave His only begotten Son. Jesus gave His life on the cross. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to resist sin and follow God’s commands. It is from this abundance of what we have been given that God calls us to then freely give ourselves–to actually develop a mindset in which we look first to the needs of others above our own interests. In Developing a Servant’s Heart, Dr. Charles Stanley shows how each of us have been equipped, empowered, and charged to do this.

With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is "the size of thing that makes them angry." He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that "righteous indignation" is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God.

Many Christians struggle to understand the Book of Revelation. “The end times.” “The apocalypse.” “The day of judgment.” These terms are both fascinating and frightening – but what do they really mean? Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Jeremiah explains every key sign of the approaching apocalypse and what it means for you, including international, cultural, heavenly, tribulation, and end signs. With his engaging writing style and clear analysis of how current world events were foretold in the Bible, The Book of Signs is an encouraging guide to the Book of Revelation.
