The Rabbit Room

Any chance of a package bundle of the book and the CD? Thinking about giving the set to my clients for Christmas….

Oh HALLELUJAH! I’ve waited in hopeful anticipation of the day this work in progress would become a work in fact. Let mine be among the first pre-orders. I’m confident it will become a treasured companion to my BTLOG Advent tradition.

Thanks, Pete. Dare I ask again….any discount if I order a “bunch” (say 30+ bundles)?

Just ordered it,with much excitement and anticipation. Just in time for Advent. Thanks be to God! Thank you, Rabbit Room Press for quality books. You guys rock. And I’m sure you roll, too, but hey, I’m talkin’ awesomeness here. Hope your day is filled with all the orders the RR can hold!

Oh, yay! Brilliant idea.

I’ve never heard the _Behold the Lamb of God_ album. (John Barber nearly hit me with a stick over this at Hutchmoot.) Now I can experience two new wonders at once. Merry Christmas to me!

Becca! I would say I would’ve helped John hit you… but I guess that’s hypocrisy since I didn’t hear it until last year. I hope you experience it very soon.

Looking forward to reading the book! Ah, now if only the tour were coming closer to me….
(I seriously already have next year’s Orlando show on my calendar.)

This is very exciting.

Oh, my. Russ (and Rabbit Room), you just made my Christmas!

Good gooseflesh. This begins my Christmas list.

Looks great. I’ll add my own “Dare I ask…” Any chance we can see the first chapter or some other excerpt from the book? Usually when there’s a new album, you’ll give us a song to listen to, right? I’d just like to get a feel for the tone and style of the book. Thanks.

Very nice to see this!
I have a question:
Is this book based off the traditional Christmas Advent, using the BTLOG story in it, or is it a story narrative of the coming of the Lord Jesus based off the scriptures but re-written into a story, like BTLOG?
I ask because I am very interested in the Christmas advent tradition, with the wreath and all, so much so, I wrote a completely new step by step weekly advent for the season for my family, based off a post here a few years ago (Russ?) and was wondering if this was the same idea.
Either way it is most excellent news.

Becca, you’re lucky I wasn’t at Hutchmoot. You’re also lucky to be getting such a great Christmas present! Many congratulations to everyone who orders one of these: it’s bound to be good.

Paul, The book is a 25 chapter (one for each day of December leading up to Christmas day) telling of the story of the need for and the coming of Christ. I wrote it as a narrative that traces the story of redemption through all the way from Creation to the nativity story, and designed it’s format so that is would be useful for personal or family devotions during the holiday season. But I also wanted it to stand on it’s own as a compelling account of the redemptive storyline that traces its way through the pages of Scripture. So it’s not an advent wreath companion, but more of a daily reader for December, or whenever.

Christmas shopping for my clients is DONE!!! Thanks, guys!

Scott — I don’t know what you do, but being your client can’t be the worst thing in the world.

Will this be available on amazon.co.uk?

Susan

it’s like the comic where your two favorite superheros combine their powers.

For the inside back cover did you use the glamour shot with the awesome hair?

Question…We have a 4, 5, and 6 year old. Would this be a good book to read to them or would us reading it as a couple be a better idea? Is there a target age for the book? Thanks- can’t wait to own it!

Hey Dana, great question. I wrote this for adults, hoping it would be used for family devotions. It does have some mature themes and moments throughout– like the Bathsheba story, or the death of Saul, or the birth of Jesus. In places like these, I tried to be no more graphic than the Biblical accounts themselves (but some of the biblical accounts can be intense.)

So while I didn’t write this as a children’s book, per se, I did try to word things in such a way that while it might invite questions, it wouldn’t give away details parents weren’t ready to explain.

This sounds terrific. We’re always looking for new, quality family devotionals that dig into Scripture and pull out the big picture. Thanks for doing this!

I can’t wait to read this! Will the books be available at the merch tables during the BTLOG tour?

Just wanted to say how excited I am that my copy arrived today! I love the smell and the drop caps and the footnotes. It’s beautiful and I can’t wait to actually read it.

Yay! Just got mine! Listening to the live CD now. Looking forward to reading the first entry tonight when I get home from work.
