Even during hard times, the light of Christmas shines brightly.
Home for Christmas shares the real-life stories of formerly incarcerated men and women as they find work and opportunity through Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, California. As we hear about their struggles, we recognize the Advent themes of hope, love, and peace in their lives.
This four-session book is ideal for Sunday school, small groups, and home groups as well as for individual study. A comprehensive Leader Guide, a DVD featuring author and pastor Justin Coleman, and a youth resource are available to purchase separately to help you make the most of this special Advent study.
