Combatting Commercial Clutter: Award-Winning Author Andrew Kooman Releases Gather for Advent

LONDON, Ontario - Rezul -- As the Christmas season approaches, celebrated writer and producer Andrew Kooman offers a fresh approach to spiritual preparation with his new release, Gather for Advent: Poems and Stories to Spark Wonder in Your Heart and Home This Christmas. This book aims to help families and church congregations move "beyond the commercial focus of Christmas" toward reflection and wonder.

Gather for Advent serves as a practical resource intended to help readers reflect anew on the miracle story of the incarnation and become unfamiliar again with the story of Christmas we all think we know so well.

Designed for the Hectic Holiday Season

Recognizing that the lead up to Christmas is often busy, Kooman designed the content to fit into modern, fast-paced life. The book features a mix of devotionals optimized for quick consumption.

The book includes several pre-made Suggested Plans (including two weekly and two 30-day plans) based around the core themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. This structure allows families to utilize a "grab and go" approach, ensuring meaningful reflection can be squeezed in "during a busy schedule".

Unique Perspectives and Transforming Stories

Gather for Advent draws readers in with humor, surprise, and profound questions, often reframing familiar biblical figures in compelling monologues and skits. The collection features "Voices of Advent" from people whose lives were transformed by Jesus' arrival. Unexpected narrators reveal deep spiritual truths, and shocking truths about Jesus becoming a helpless, vulnerable human baby that first Christmas.
