Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam...which will you choose this year? The truth is, we don't have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of confusion. God breaks into the confusion and is made known in Jesus Christ.

Christmas and confusion-weren't they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. But that's what this study is about - how Christ breaks into our confusion and brings Christmas, how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam.

This study has five sessons - one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, a focus for the week, and six daily Bible readings for personal devotional time during the week.
