You know all about celebrating Christmas. But what about searching for Christmas? You say, "Why would I need to do that?" Because, as a culture, we've lost some significant parts of the advent story. This week on The Land and the Book, we sit down with J.D. Grear for compelling insights. And you won’t want to miss Charlie Dyer’s devotional or our look at your latest Bible questions. That’s The Land and the Book, with our guest, J.D. Grear—on The Land and the Book.

It’s great to think about Jesus as a baby, Jesus in the manger, and Jesus on Mary’s lap. But we dare not forget that He was also born King.

He was born King, but Jesus will soon return as King of Kings! Don’t miss this encouraging conversation—next time on The Land and the Book.

As always, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about this week’s events in the Middle East. And—we’ll answer a great set of Bible questions…all on The Land and the Book.

Be honest! Have you ever skipped over or given up on a book of the Bible like Numbers of Leviticus? These laws, rules, and rituals can be confusing and even daunting.

We'll begin the adventure of "Delighting in God's Law" on The Land and the Book.

These are stories we need to hear, so don't miss this week's edition of The Land and the Book.

This week on The Land and the Book, you’ll meet the Characters of Creation: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel…the serpent…and more.

Plus, Charlie Dyer’s devotional will help you understand the Jewish festival known as Sukkot (Sue-COAT). It’s a lively conversation—this week on The Land and the Book.
